[documentation] Call for help: 160 links to be added to project pages and module help pages

[Kobus Myburgh]

There has been a call for help here, but in almost 12 hours, a lot of discussion has been going on, but no consensus, and no takers.

I stay with my point that external links go in a blank window, but:

1. Once the decision has been made
2. Once the link format has been finalized

I will take up the task of adding these links.

Interesting.  All of the modules I looked at, which was only the first three 
or four of both Drupal and contrib, either have no links in the "You can" 
list, or link beck to drupal.org itself.  The BitTorrent [0] and BuddyList 
[1] modules are good examples.  Of course, I get Access Denied messages when 
I click on those links.  Maybe I'm missing something.  Are these pages 
supposed to be installed locally?

[0] http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/bittorrent 
[1] http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/buddylist
