Please...let's not go down this road right now, unless there is someone
immediately standing up with the time and resources to do this right,
which likely means integrating it into project module itself in some
way.<br>
<br>
Myself and others are going through editing the project pages and
linking the documentation field that is already there to the individual
<a href="http://drupal.org/handbook/modules">http://drupal.org/handbook/modules</a> pages. There is a format for that,
and it tries to cover as much of the mentioned items as possible. Please pitch in and help update.<br>
<br>
It sounds like additional documentation around very basic module
installation steps is needed. Please review the "Installing new
modules" page and suggest changes: <a href="http://drupal.org/node/17473">http://drupal.org/node/17473</a> -- you
are always reading the INSTALL.txt file and suggesting bug reports
against it for bug fixes, right? :P<br>
