The End User Guide is the natural place to build documentation we can 
hand to clients:

http://drupal.org/node/6261

It was rescued from being buried several layers down and brought to the 
top of "Installation and configuration". If we can add enough material 
to it a case could be made for tuning it into a separate handbook.

The handbook could even be exported  and made available as a PDF for 
download.

I've been planning to add material to it for the last few months, but 
all my time is being eaten up by development and theming lately. So I'm 
going to call in a favour on some journalists that I've been helping 
out with their sites, this is one part of the documentation where not 
knowing too much about Drupal is an advantage in explaining it.

Can we think of a list of topics that could be filled in?


Best regards,
