Changes and improvements to the Drupal Handbook
In order to improve Drupal documentation usability, the Drupal handbook has been undergoing significant revision and feature enhancement:
- Longer handbook pages have been broken into multiple pages so as to allow the collaborative book to generate all section headings.
- Drupal handbook pages have DocBook XML and OPML export functions.
- The admin/help text available with Drupal core installations has been updated to include 60+ core and contributed modules (patch pending). Admin/help text will now be maintained on drupal.org in the modules and features section of the handbook.
- Handbook pages on drupal.org have additional blocks available in the sidebar providing useful links and information on handbook usage.
- Advanced Drupal users are providing additional configuration tutorials and code such as best practices and PHP page snippets.
- Based upon the user feedback gained in the recent card sort exercise, the Drupal handbook is being completely reorganized into multiple handbooks.
The last of these, the reorganization of handbook pages, is currently in progress. Drupal users will find the handbook has now been split into 5 books. Users can expect that all legacy links to handbook pages are being preserved, but that sections of the handbook may be in different locations than before as we complete reorganization.
Anyone interested in contributing to this reorganization process should feel free to get involved.
