OK, it appears there are a number of issues here.  To summarize:

1. The documentation sucks: people don't find the information they need.
2. The process to maintain documentation sucks: documentation writers 
don't know what is going on.
3. Poor separation between user and developer community.

We want to tackle (1) by reorganizing the handbook from scratch.  We 
need to tackle (2) by improving Drupal itself, and the book module in 
particular (or by using CVS). There are different ways we can tackle 
(3).

That works for me.  We'd still need to deal with 2 and 3 separately 
though.
