I know you like this idea, but I still don't understand why. Why does
the end user need documentation on Drupal.org? If you're going to have
it, shouldn't this be stuff bundled with Drupal in the help texts?

Hm. Well, I don't think Events is relevant to what the 'Handbook' is
about, and certainly, it's not linked as a top level page in the current
handbook.
What about taking out the About Drupal and turning that into a tab on
the top (before 'Support')?
I still get the sense that we're not really improving the layout here...
What about...
Getting started... Requirements. Installation. Troubleshooting common
problems.
Configuring your drupal site. Most everything in the Admin guide.
Customizing drupal . Anything involving hacking at the code.
Contributing. Put working groups under here. Instructions on cvs, etc.
I'm not super attached to this, but I do think if we're going to go
through the effort of all this, we should re-think the organization a
little. Once you make it, it's hard to go back.
Anisa.
