Currently, handbook pages can be edited by authors. Wouldn’t it be helpful if non-authors (authenticated users) could submit changes to these pages as well? Just add an extra approval step (by the author) when a non-author does an edit. Isn’t that what a Content Management System is about?

Commenting on the handbook pages, http://drupal.org/node/14345

In my case, I see all manner of small (non-content) corrections needed, such as miss-typed words sentences that took three readings to figure out and deserve being re-written. But they’re too small, numerous, and dispersed on the page to try to make comments.

I think this would be an extremely useful feature for the handbooks, and would decrease the number of editorial issues submitted to the drupal.org maintenance project.

Also, I looked into volunteering to be a site maintainer but the info on that page says to contact Dries, who is (understandably so) not accepting emails. So I'm officialy volunteering here.

Express interest and request the ability to do so.
I will grant your account the rights needed.

There has been a new handbook editor role added recently. Haven't had the time to write/update something on it.

Updated the site-maintainers page with more recent instructions.

I'd be willing to volunteer as an editor as well. However, unless I've missed it, the problem of pages going back into moderation has not been resolved? Please test and provide feedback on this module as a possible solution: http://drupal.org/project/content_moderator
