Okay, this is what I have started to do with the new "About the  
handbook" section.  Please take a look and see if this meets up with  
what you have described.

http://drupal.org/handbook/about

I also built an entire map of the current handbook with URLs so that  
we can map old URLs to new content in the future if we need to keep  
links from breaking.  If anyone is interested in this FreeMind  
(http://freemind.sourceforge.net/) mindmap just let me know and I can  
send it through to them.

I started copying content out of the original pages into new nodes.   
I am doing a couple things as I create these new nodes in the  
handbook v2:
     -trying to adhere to the new "Authoring guidelines" http:// 
drupal.org/handbook/about/authoring
     -giving all pages structural and human readable URL aliases
     -disabling commenting (for now all discussion should be funneled  
through this list.  We can discuss whether we want comments again in  
the future)

Next up we will need to start organizing and re-writing some of the  
bigger sections with some deference given to Kierann's card-sort  
activity, the survey, and current wisdom.
