installing-drupal would be my choice

Note: we should always use hyphens, not underscores, for best SEO:

Is it that we need structure, or that we need semantically rich url 
aliases? After all, the book and breadcrumbs dynamically provide 
structure for the user when they visit the page.

Granted it would be nice if they all followed some standard structure, 
but is it worth even editing the existing ones when we will create 
deadlinks? Usability would, IMHO, be decreased more by deadlinks than 
any gain we would gain from imposing a directory structure on the url 
aliases.

Perhaps the answer from now on is not to use a directory structure at 
all, just include a semantically rich url alias?
