In some cases the wiki pages are not sufficient for help documentation and tutorials. Adding the book content type among discussion/story, job, poll, event and wiki page would be very helpful.
Also, it seems like the extension had been active and at least one book page was created in the past.

3 weeks passed with no response from the maintainers.
We need a book structure for a Turkish documentation in our group and it's getting urgent since a sprint is coming closer.

This is obviously far too late to help on an event 2 years ago, but for anyone looking for similar functionality, https://www.drupal.org/getting-involved-guide/groups has structured documentation anyone can use. I don't see a lot of value in duplicating that functionality on groups.drupal.org, so marking this as won't fix.

So typical: ignore the issue for 2 years then announce it too old to help...
Useless to argue it anymore but just note that d.o documentation is not multilingual whereas the geographic groups on g.d.o are willing to prepare documentation in their own languages.
Anyway. It's history...

This isn't too old to do, I just don't think it should happen. But I'm open to being convinced I'm wrong. Maybe I'm not understanding the multilingual thing. As far as I've seen, neither drupal.org nor groups.drupal.org have content translation on, but both can take content in any language. I'd be interested to hear where specifically the multilingual capabilities break down on drupal.org, but that feedback may be better directed at the drupal.org team.

Scott, the documentation language is English in d.o and, as you mentioned, there is no content translation.

On the other side, in our group there is a consistent demand for a Turkish documentation. So we decided to prepare a basic users' guide in Turkish parallel to the official English one. That was and still is the reason this issue was opened.

We would be pleased if you re-activate and solve the issue.

In my search for why there's no non-English documentation on Drupal.org, I found https://www.drupal.org/node/17229 which points to various sites focused on Drupal documentation in specific languages. There's a link to drupaltr.org there for Turkish documentation, but that site appears to be down.

So I'm still not clear on why we don't just put non-English documentation on drupal.org, but for whatever reason, the standard seems to be to make dedicated sites for each language. So I suggest you take that approach. If there's something we can do to make groups.drupal.org a better tool for collaborating on that documentation, that's totally part of the purpose of the site. But hosting the documentation itself still doesn't seem like a good fit.

By analogy, Groups is often used to collaborate on code, but we don't host code on Groups. Code hosting happens on Drupal.org or GitHub, or some other tool designed for that specific need.
