Agreed. I've always thought there should be a features section
(covering core Drupal) and then contrib features or something like
that -- basically the project description, but perhaps with more
detail, and then how-tos underneath each module.

Frick. We need some way of nailing up some of this stuff as to-dos,
but basically the only way to do it is to start messing with the
structure of the handbook. But we need some sort of consensus (or
close to it) on what the structure of the hand book should be.

Anyone have suggestions about process? Our style guide is excellent
first step, but somehow I think we need some other process as well.

(BTW -- pretty much our entire admin guide [1] is structured as "how
tos" without referring necessarily to which "module" powers it)

Lastly, I have another help text snippet to target for re-writing --
the Administer > Categories text (pasted at end).

The taxonomy module allows you to classify content into categories and
subcategories; it allows multiple lists of categories for
classification (controlled vocabularies) and offers the possibility of
creating thesauri (controlled vocabularies that indicate the
relationship of terms) and taxonomies (controlled vocabularies where
relationships are indicated hierarchically). To delete a term choose
"edit term". To delete a vocabulary, and all its terms, choose "edit
vocabulary".
