Could you make some specific suggestions? I know we said we shouldn't
use Drupal unnecessarily in the headings but if we go with this style
of book titles it's hard to pull out. My motivation was to make the
title's about the content within rather than the person who might use
it. Breaking the handbook by user type is a false dichotomy. Very few
of us are just one of these roles. We might go to the section about
administer a drupal site but we aren't just admins. This type of
information architecture is confusing and what we trying to move away
from in the current handbook. It forces people to identify what they
are, when we really need them to answer "what do you want to do". We
should really try to make the documentation "task based".
So yeah I think the books we need to create are still:
-Getting Started and Using a Drupal Website (this needs a better name)
-Administering a Drupal Website (be hard to pull drupal out of this)
-Developing for Drupal (would "Developing" work?)
-About Drupal
-About the Handbook
thanks
