[documentation] Moving directory

[Wolf Zirbs]

@A I know this is an old story, organizing documentation, allow me to say
that a summary table (like SiteMap)   would really be of help. My efforts to
get as much deeply in the "Drupal.org Handbooks" structure did bring me
   first to learn to understand "TERMS" (I'm no native English) and collect
them in Common expressions & acronyms used on
D.O.<http://drupal.org/node/302232>  wich
help me (and hopefully all) to find what I'm looking for.

   It will take more time for me to build from that from me so called
"Index-page" an orientation resource that
   will bring me suddenly what I'm looking for. I understand that even
myself tend to unconsciously have
  preferences to some sections because it's the actual theme I'm working on,
this is why an "Index-page" or Table
  would satisfy neutrally all orientations and search preferences.
