<DIV>I don't think this is the case. I clean up "this is my test handbook page"
every now and then (and sometimes drop people a line via contact asking them not
to "test"), but people with registered accounts are pretty easy to catch
quickly, and automating the editing handbook pages for spam...well, also quickly
stopped, and unlikely to occur.</DIV><BR>

alternative, what if role permissions were added such that regular (mostly)
trusted documentation contributors would have those edit privileges? Doc
moderators would still have to approve, but it might improve our workflow
considerably. (I'm still at a loss how to suggest edits. I've used visible
comments, emails here and issues on drupal.org, but each seems way out of the
workflow to me.)<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV>I think a big "edit this page" button and edit privileges for all users.
Maybe we can turn this functionality on for a trial basis, and have a
"documentation drive" forum post encouraging people to submit edits and/or get
involved with the documentation list.</DIV>

<DIV>Right now, the default answer to complaints is...contribute. Make it easier
to contribute (i.e. edit any handbook page), less excuses. Yes?</DIV>
