Description

The components we have to select from when making a new docs issue are a bit off kilter these days. The handbook has changed over time and the components don't match logically anymore. We should map it out with the new book breakdown. I also think we should change the CVS docs to just api.drupal.org since many folks don't know that api docs are in fact in CVS. Or at least do something like api.drupal.org/CVS docs.

Regarding the versioning, we don't have versions in CVS (yet!) so I'm just listing them out. But once we do start to do that how will that effect our issue creation? That is, only some docs will be versioned which would be a good thing to be able to select when making an issue but we need to make sure that version is not a required field since it won't apply to most of the docs. This question is more of an infra discussion so I dont' expect it answered here - just wanted to point it out in relation to my list.

Let's figure out what we want to have and then we can move this issue over to the right queue to actually get it implemented.

Our current list:
Admin Guide
User Guide
Customization and Theming Guide
Developer Guide
Installation
Marketing
Documentation in CVS
Misc

My proposed new list:
Getting Started Section
Getting Started PDF - D6 (coming soon)
Getting Started PDF - D5
Beyond the Basics
Theming Guide - D6
Theming Guide - D5 and lower
Developing for Drupal
Drupal.org Resources
api.drupal.org
Misc

Dur, btw, yes we can change this ourselves (i.e. site admins can) so we don't need to move anywhere really, just figure it out and sepeck or myself can change it.

@add1sun: before you do that, please read this issue: #140989: need way to rename components safely. This may not work as you think it will, unfortunately.
