Changing this to be a documentation issue. Please help re-write the book
description [1] to make it better.


The word "collaboration" is in there because it is the only module with
the "maintain" permission -- this allows any user to edit any book page,
much like a wiki. With the addition of the freelinking module, it can in
fact function almost identically to a wiki.

I just enabled the book module and it's something that I could have used
a long time ago. The reason I never enabled it before was because 'book'
and the description made it literally sound like a book. It's more of a
module that allows multipage nodes organized in a hierarchy. So a
better name would be useful. Something like "Organized Page" would be a
whole lot more descriptive. I would also drop the colloboration aspect
from the description.

I wholeheartedly agree with you there... I've been very confused with
the naming of this & other node types which don't help explain the
functionality.
