Issue Summary
See prototype.
What are those discussions? Comments? Forum? Both?
Comments
#1
Would it make sense for the discussions to be in the issue queue? It seems like the documentation alerts are issues, and once the issue is resolved, the alert should be removed.
#2
Moving to the Redesign project. Check here to see who has been assigned to implement this section and the staging server it'll live on during implementation: http://groups.drupal.org/node/37064

They are regular comments, on a different page.The talk module will add this. Mostly need to know what variable_set() and such needs to happen to enable this for book pages only.
#4
Can someone post a working link to the prototype, or a JPG or other mockup so we can look and comment? The link in the orginal report does not work for me. Thanks.
#5
http://redesign.drupal.org/node/823990 is a sample page as it is right now. https://infrastructure.drupal.org/drupal.org-style-guide/prototype/docum... is the prototype.

Wow, those "Edit", "History", "Discuss" links are really small. Since I think comments on Handbook pages are problematic anyway, I'm not going to complain too loudly... Maybe having them on a separate page will discourage people from commenting...
Better yet, could we have a link to "Report a problem with this page" like we do on api.drupal.org, to encourage people to do that if they see a problem, rather than adding to the comments/discussion? It need to would go to the Documentation project issue queue. Or is it too late for that suggestion to be incorporated? I guess it could go either with the "Edit" "History" "Discuss" links at the top of the page, or a the top or bottom of the Discuss page (which I don't see a mockup of), or maybe both.

Agreed w jhodgon, the edit discussion (and possible report) links are too small. If they were tabs on that page, that would make sense. But there are so many tabs already.
I don't understand the use of tabs for section navigation to main, unrelated sections: Docs home, API, Index, recently updates.
That means the specific page title doesn't appear on my browser until more than 1/2 way down my screen because of the overhead of the header, and the section title. Probably too late for this to be shortened. Except for the tabs in the maintabbednav, I don't understand the use of tabs in this case, to organize unrelated sections. Seems like there is much navigation.
In the wiki world, if people are familiar with that, they will have seen the use of a tab for "discussion", which makes it appear 'behind' content. Then, I could understand the use of tabs on this article, to see the discussion or history of this page.
Anyway not sure if that helps.

Heather, you've hit on something. Please comment on #869936: Subnavigation improvements :D
#10
Actually, I think we should just keep comments as-is and consistent throughout the site. See #896568: Comment threads are hard to read - style comments better
