Does anyone like the existence of the long help texts?

I think linking to the handbook is a bad idea at the moment. I'm not
sure if the multi-language support is ideal. The versioning for Drupal
versions is non-existent. And I fear changing URLs.

I think all this need to be done with the online handbook, but I'm not
interested in tackling this beast of a project at the moment. That
revisioning table structure patch needs to go through and i18n needs to
have no core patches (I would assume we would use i18n on Drupal.org if
we wanted a multi-lingual handbook).
