Ok based on Judah, Anissa, Ron, Charlie, and Vlado's comments I think 
we can see that we need something for beginner users on how to use a 
drupal website, not just administer it.  I think we should concentrate 
on developing a task based documentation.  So how about this:

-Getting Started and Using a Drupal Website (yes these should be ONE 
book)
	*Sys Req. and Installing and stuff
	*The basics of using a drupal site (adding content, creating a log in) 
-- stuff that is being discussed as end-end user docs

-Administering a Drupal Website
	*Configuration and all the other admin good stuff

-Developing for Drupal
	*CVS, modules, themes and other nerdy stuff

-About Drupal
	* general info (history, marketing, conference slides)  This is not 
the main focus of the handbook and so it should not be first in the 
list

-About the Handbook
	*handbook stuff (authors, workflow, style guide)
	* we can promote this in a block, it just needs a structural home
	*as long as it says handbook in the top nav of drupal.org we should 
always refer to it as the handbook, if the top nav changes to 
documentation then we can change this here

That get's us down to 5 sections and little ambiguity about where you 
might go for the information you might want which is the main problem 
right now.

thoughts?
