[drupal-docs] Drupal Handbook

[puregin]

(I've posted this to the Documentation forum also - pardon the cross 
posting)

Hello all,

     I have just finished updating the PDF version of the Drupal 
handbook, available at

http://www.puregin.org/files/Drupal_handbook.pdf

I hope that we will be in a position to generate the PDF from the 
exported DocBook XML - probably within a month.  This should give us 
more control over the output, and eliminate some of the annoying bugs 
present in the HTML2PS translation process currently used.

It's been just over two months since I made the first PDF version 
available.  That version had 354 pages.  In the meantime, the handbook 
has grown to 435 pages - this represents considerable growth, since a 
number of duplicate sections were removed and other sections edited 
down considerably.

I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed new material or worked 
to make the existing content better and easier to use.

There's still a lot of work to be done, but it's heartening to take a 
step back and see how much has actually been accomplished in the past 
few months!


Regards, Djun
