[development] enterprise needs

[Robert Douglass]

Could you take a bit of time and create a book page on drupal.org 
describing how you do all of this?

Warning: book pages go straight into moderation... just send a mail to 
the documentation list (or to me if you like) when you've finished and 
we'll get it reviewed and published quickly.

thanks,

Robert
