[drupal-docs] Admin help longs to be read by skilled Drupal user

Can we make the titles shorter? The book module one is particularly
needlessly long.
For example:
blocks: sidebar content
blog: a blog for every user
comment: allow comments on content (<- this sucks but is better than
discussion boards for nodes ;p)
Locale: multi-language support
Node: all content
Search: search your site
There are a couple of others that stand out as needing to be a bit
better. Ie, Taxonomy, Path, *BOOK*.
The statistics title is cute, but...
Where was that wiki again? ^.^;; Maybe I don't have much right to
complain because I didn't help much (it's a rare day I leave work before
9 pm these days >.< working 12 hour days at 23, where's the justice in
that? ;p), but there is a *lot* of unnecessarily technical language in
there, and references to things the end user may not know, and for
Drupal purposes, does not need to know.
Drupal loads a little slow when I go to the edit page, I wonder why that is.
What to do with unresolved comment questions that are really support
questions in disguise?
Path describes the permissions associated with the module, but other
help texts do not. Useful feature.
Somehow I think this could all be made more readable...
Anisa.
sleepy.
