Congratulations If you did no more, this is a 1000% improvement in
usability.
It all so points out the importance of seeing the whole picture. (index)
The sheer size of it's 370 pages begs for separate books as described by
many on this list.
While no one has ever tried to pass off PDF's as good user interface, this
beats what's in second place.
Dividing it in to several books would allow printing the relative parts.
Making all external links open a new browser page would allow you to return
to the book with out loading the whole file again. Which could be very
painful on a slow connection.
What ever happens from now on this team has made a fanatic contribution.
Many thanks.

Hi Charlie - sorry, my mistake. The URL should have been:
http://www.puregin.org/files/Drupal_handbook.pdf
(no 's' in handbook).
Yes, it's based on the printer-friendly version page.
Regards, Djun
