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

[Steven Peck]

I wish I had more free time at the moment (this lack is of it is
annoying)
 
I think in order to rebuild the documentation from the partial,
scattered bits that are there, that it needs to be done from a clean
slate.  I have been using Drupal for over a year now and learning how
the site/handbook is organized has been a large part of that time.
Trying to figure out what is missing, only to find it in some other odd
location is annoying.  For instance, the recent custom blocks that was
moved from the troublshooting section.
 
Minor changes are one thing, but like the admin UI discussion that comes
up occassionally, the user docs structure really need to be completely
rebuilt.  There is a lot that can be re-used, but incremental changes
are hard.

difficulties in improving the handbook? 

	I think one of the difficulties is we need some room to change
the drupal documentation experience. Ideally this documentation
shouldn't rest on drupal.org or docs.drupal.org but it should be a
Drupal Core module that ships with every site. I got a phone call this
morning from a woman who was trying to put up a site for dog owners to
get involved in local politics. She had been to Bryght, CivicSpace, and
Drupal already that morning. She started describing her experience
trying to understand how to get information on the Drupal site. She
started screaming hilarious descriptions of how awfully geeky the site
was. I was laughing so hard hearing her descriptions of the information
being presented to her. I told her I wanted to get a recording so I
could share it with all of you. These are the new users of Drupal, like
it or not. 

	Cheers,
