Earlier this week, Dries committed the admin/help text into Drupal core. 
Thanks to Amazon and everyone who worked on developing that 
documentation, and thanks to webchick and everyone else who assisted in 
creating the script to do the update automatically. This is a milestone 
for Drupal in terms of usability :)

Starting on Monday, I'll be able to begin reviewing all of the core 
admin/help and getting them updated over the next week or so. I'm glad 
to take on almost all of the core admin/help text myself so that others' 
may begin working on the contrib module admin/help text. There are a few 
modules, though, that I am not very familiar with and it would be of 
help if someone else can take a look at them:

BlogAPI
Ping
Throttle

As each page is updated to 4.7, we'll need to tag it with the version 
number (see previous email). This will enable us to easily see which 
pages have been reviewed against 4.7 to avoid overlapping the initial 
testing of the documentation against 4.7.

It is my hope that we can get at least the core admin/help updated over 
the next couple of weeks (contrib modules may take longer as there are 
likely to be changes to them as they are updated to 4.7). While we may 
not get this updated in time for the RC, I feel confident that we can 
accomplish this before the official release of 4.7.

So please everyone, make updating the admin/help to 4.7 a priority over 
the next few weeks so that we can make accurate, useful documentation 
available.
