Good idea. I'm willing to contribute to such effort.

As consultant myself, I think the handbook is broken up into too many 
and too brief snippets to be comprehensible for most of my customers. I 
don't carp at the handbook, which I find very good with open source 
measures and very useful for us Drupal versed. But there is a need - and 
room - for a more custom oriented documentation. Another huge problem 
with the handbook, which actually is a problem with the book.module, is 
that it isn't possible to print the handbook as whole.

But instead of starting off a new documentation effort, would it not be 
better to improve and/or supplement the handbook somehow? Or have I 
misunderstood your intention?
