The comments page has allowed us to reduce the number of comments.   
The most popular handbook page has allowed us see what's being read  
and contribute re-writes to these popular pages.  For example, the  
Install instructions re-write is on it's way.  About Drupal is being  
updated.

Most recent updates allows us to track the changes to the handbook.   
http://drupal.org/handbook/updates

Is there a self selecting option that we could add so that not  
everyone sees an edit tab, but they could easy enable themselves to?   
I am thinking they might have permissions to enable a handbook  
contributor role which would allow for editing.   The other option  
would be to do bulk role enabling.  Instead of giving everyone edit  
ability you give it to everyone who has posted to the forums, posted  
a comment, or created a project.   This could be a temporary  
experiment with a sub-set of the community to see if broader edit  
ability lead to improvements.

Cheers,
Kieran
