Core User Interface Text Guidelines

subscribe (i think it'd be great to have this reviewed sooner than later - and i fully realize it's already somewhat late in the game, will see if i can get some support on it)

the first section on form elements is a little confusing, particularly the instructions re: when to use checkboxes vs. radio buttons - i would correct it, but i'm not totally clear on the parameters for deciding when to use each.

as joachim noted in the comments on that page, we need to be careful not to duplicated content in the "Drupal UI guidelines" pages here: http://drupal.org/node/364002

looks like those 2 pages aren't duplicating content anymore, but there is a fair amount in http://drupal.org/node/501452 that is already in the handbook style guide http://drupal.org/node/338208 - i'd really like to keep overlap to a minimum, as eventually we're hoping to consolidate a lot of this into a universal style guide for both drupal/contrib and online docs (at least for all the text/formatting type stuff).

I don't mean they are the same - just that many things can be central to all of Drupal (so they're consistent and so they don't need to be documented many times in different pages). Things like language style, capitalization, and most of what's in the "screen text" and "menus" sections are a lot more general.

It's just a general note, as we have a few different pages/guides covering very similar bits of info.

I never said we should merge them. ;) I just said I want to try not to duplicate information on the various pages that should be universal to all of Drupal. Some things need to be consolidated, other things will be per purpose.
