[drupal-docs] Moving handbook to docs.drupal.org

[Anisa]

I am also not entirely sure on this.  What are the difficulties in 
improving the handbook?  Whatever you do, you have to re-write it over 
again...  why does moving it help?

If you believe there advantages to having a site entirely focused on 
supporting people using drupal, that's one thing. 

Hm.  Unless you mean that moving it will force people to rewrite 
everything instead of just letting it be?  :)  There's a thought.  I 
wonder how many developers will help out at the new site though. 

Anisa.
