[drupal-docs] Admin help needs to be read by CivicSpace users

[Charlie Lowe]

I think Kieran is on the right track here. Let's shoot for doing the 
best that we can to develop one documentation strain in the Drupal 
handbook. Give it some time and see how it turns out. IMHO, with a 
little compromise as well as some good writing to produce docs which do 
serve a wide audience, we can produce and maintain a more comprehensive 
guide in the modules and features section which is better overall than 
what could be accomplished separately (think "open source development 
model" applied to documentation). And at any time, as Kieran has said, 
because of the CC licensing, anyone would be welcome to go and create 
their own version if they find things are not working out in their best 
interest.
