[documentation] Introduction and Greeting from themacgeek (Jamie)

[themacgeek]

I envision the Drupal Training System as a very structured point A to  
point B training system.  A good example would be something similar  
to Sam's Teach Yourself series of books or something from VTC.

The primary idea is to structure a training series where someone can  
begin at Page 1 and work through step by step like a training manual.  
This could be something as simple as a  downloadable PDF or a set of  
interactive videos.

In my opinion the current documentation, though very helpful and  
thorough does not lend itself to helping new people understand what  
some of the underlying concepts and theory is behind CMS systems in  
general and how Drupal can be used to make site management easier.

I should clarify, I am not trying to introduce something to make the  
documentation development more difficult or add to what I am sure is  
an already difficult task.  It is my understanding that currently  
documentation is an area where Drupal needs more contributors.  Being  
new to Drupal in many ways, I would like to offer my input and help  
in any way I can.
