[documentation] beginners manual -- Re: documentation Digest, Vol 21, Issue 30

[ruben d canlas jr]

Hi Everyone,

Interesting thread. I agree that we need manuals geared for beginners: sort
of a Drupal Quick Setup Guide or Beginners Guide. You read this guide and
you can quickly set up a web site by just following the step by step guide
-- no need to really understand what's going on, just set up a site. I've
been working slowly on this one and I'd be happy to hook up with others who
have similar efforts. I'm not sure if there is a coordinated effort on this
already. If there is, i'd be glad to join. If not, we can surely benefit
from synergy here. (Kindly email me personally so we can all hook up).

Another issue this brings up is once again that of a Drupal Basic Install
configuration. Kinda like a tutorial setup -- first time you fire up Drupal,
you get a basic site with sample primary links. Then the sample story nodes
contain self-help guides.

Thanks,

benc
