jhodgdonHere is the current text of that block:
Help Us Maintain Documentation
The Drupal.org online documentation is written by the Drupal community in co-operation with the Documentation Team. When you are logged in, you can:
Edit most Documentation pages by clicking “Edit” at the top of the page.
Add new pages by using the “add a child page” link at the bottom of the page.
Use the (link)Documentation issue queue(endlink) to propose major changes and report problems.

drummI'd like to move any static HTML blocks to being regular custom blocks in Drupal.org's configuration. If that's true, anyone with access can go ahead and do that, once the new text is agreed upon. Removing the stale code in drupalorg can happen any time after that.

jhodgdonHere's my first draft of a new block (just throwing out this idea... definitely open to suggestion):
Help maintain the Community Documentation
The Drupal.org online Community documentation is written and maintained by the Drupal community. When you are logged in, you can:
Edit most Documentation pages by clicking “Edit” at the top of the page.
Add new pages by using the “add a child page” link at the bottom of the page. Check the (link)Documentation issue queue(endlink) for new page requests by others.
Leave comments to report problems on pages (but also edit the page to change the page status).
Create Documentation issues to request new documentation and make moderation reports (spam or inappropriate content).

jhodgdonRE #2 - That sounds like a good idea. Can you give me block editing permissions? I'm as much of a content admin as I can be, I think, but I don't have any block editing permissions.
Anyway, I'd like some feedback from the community on the block text.

jhodgdonForgot to set this to Needs Review -- I would like comments on the proposed text in comment #3. Thanks!

JoeAndrieu commentedThis issue has been reviewed/updated according to http://drupal.org/node/1204344 and is ready for someone to work on. (It's a valid issue because the page is locked for editing.)

jhodgdonHere's a patch for the drupalorg_handbook module that changes this block. Since management hasn't yet been moved to the Blocks admin page (as far as I know), and I'm not sure I have permission to edit the block text, could we (for the time being) go ahead and update this block?
To see it in action:
http://docs-manage-drupal.redesign.devdrupal.org/documentation (use drupal/drupal to get past the browser security; this block is on the right sidebar).

jhodgdonHm. I'm not sure that patch will apply and the special characters might be weird... I hate "smart" quotes.
Here's another patch, with the destination not having the smart quotes in it. The actual diff file I made with bzr can be found at
http://docs-manage-drupal.redesign.devdrupal.org/1401960.patch
and maybe you'll have better luck downloading it from there than with this attachment.
