[drupal-docs] Forum - > moderation -> books workflow

[Charlie Lowe]

More important, I think, would be to close the comment boards on the 
book pages. While I like php's documentation process of allowing users 
to post updates to the main page of information 
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/), more often than not the comment boards 
are in appropriately used as support space.

IMHO, as for closing the add book page to joe user, I tend to like the 
wiki way of allowing any in a community to create new pages, and indeed, 
allowing everyone to have edit permissions for the pages so that they 
get updated and revised. Then some of the information that has been 
posted into comments on book pages and in the forums which is useful 
documentation would get updated into the page itself.
