[drupal-docs] doc sprint: updating admin/help pages for Drupal 4.7

[Kieran Lal]

Let's create an official handbook and check it into an SVN  
repository.  We can allow Drupal.org handbooks to continue to be  
community efforts but maintain an official version.

Could we start with addressing all comments on all modules, both core  
and contribs?

Here is a list of the top downloaded modules.  I think the only way  
to to raise the quality across the board is to raise the expectations  
that most modules should have admin help maintained in the handbook.
