First, a little background: I've been lurking on the Drupal boards and on this mailing list for some time now. I work for a newspaper in the developing world, and in the near term we will be moving a portion of our online media onto Drupal as a test pilot. For some weeks I had been toying with various CMS, and after settling on Drupal, had to climb up the learning curve from a point where I knew very little about PHP and even CSS, to a point where I can now make my own themes and (very basic) modules from scratch. Throughout this I have become fairly familiar with Drupal's documentation, especially as it relates to a self-starters with a deep interest in Drupal but who lack the immediate technical skills to grasp it immediately. Despite my frustrations with the learning curve, I've become yet another starry-eyed Drupal fanatic, and have big plans for contributing, especially in the area of (translating) documentation.<br>
<br>So with that all said: <a href="http://Drupal.org">Drupal.org</a>'s documentation page needs a lot of reorganization. In fact, right now, it seems like a kind of Achilles heel to certain aspects of its development (theming, translations), despite the fact that developers are flocking to it.<br>
<br>I posted an issue that I think really captures what I'd like to suggest. You can check it out here:<br><br><a href="http://drupal.org/node/236444">http://drupal.org/node/236444</a><br><br>So what do people think? If not this, what direction will the Drupal documentation take in the future? <br>
<br>Last question: if a group of people raised their hands and said that they loved this idea and would do this, what would the next step be?<br>
