I like your approach to focusing on Drupal core. The planning your website
is a tough one to tackle....in some ways, the core config bits tie directly
into planning your website. Once the site is installed, there are only a few
basic areas that EVERYONE will configure -- like the main settings around
site title etc.

Does planning get integrated and/or pointed to directly from the config
section?

I'm feeling this is almost like a beginner manual...and I'm liking the
direction...
