Let's say CivicSpace write or update docs regularly, which they want 
included in the handbook. They are trusted to do a good job.
It takes time to mass update. Sync the relevant parts between Drupal and
CivivSpace is how I call that. All of the talk about mass updates,
outlines, etc...

The bigger question is what do we control? Content and its structure, I
suppose. But structure should reflect the particular audience.
CivicSpace or Drupal? How do you map between those - to save the effort
of the writers - they are better at creating rather than pasting. It can
become frustrating after some time.

An attempt at 'poetic' metaphors *g* 
The skeleton is the handbook - tight, rarely changed content. Feathers -
everything else, i.e suggested improvements, external articles, etc...
Some of those considered useful, can enter the handbook after some time.
