[documentation] top pages, need some thought?

[Charlie Lowe]

I agree. There are problems with this page. But the problem is 
indicative of the whole About section. It's more like a wikipedia of 
various pages that are all filed in the same section rather than having 
an overall rhetorical strategy which guides the crafting of all of the 
pages and their organization.

Back in May, I posted a proposal for rethinking and restructuring this 
section:

http://drupal.org/node/23106

I think I would revise this proposal a little now, but perhaps it would 
be useful as a starting point for rethinking the About Drupal handbook. 
Once we have an overall rhetorical strategy and organizational structure 
for this handbook, then we would be in even a better position to know 
what needs to go on each page.
