I recommend a "Sticky topic" in the documentation forum, http://drupal.org/forum/33 A sticky topic would stay at the top and provide some general guidance on how best to make proposals, feature requests, and the like, since such topics are more constructively directed through other venues. The below is a DRAFT. A sticky topic will require a site admin to post.

The documentation forum is best for general discussions about the documentation handbooks. Specific issues will generally receive better response as an issue. This forum is good for:

* General discussions on documentation

* Asking where to find a topic in the handbooks

* Asking whether a topic in the documentatin is correct or not

The following topics are more appropriate elsewhere:

* Asking for amplification and directions beyond what is in the documentation; this is a support forum question. But once you have the answer, please make a specific update recommendation.

* Submitting an issue is the best for a specific documentation ideas. Please see Contributing to documentation. These include:

--* Reporting errors in documentation that need correction

--* Suggested updates to documentation

--* Specific requests for an area of documentation

The docs forum has been deprecated. The sticky at http://drupal.org/node/237380 includes a couple of useful links, but should also have a link to: http://drupal.org/contribute/documentation
