A lot of people download the drupal release, but cant figure out what to do with it. If the handbook is shipped along with it, then people will have:
a) a handly, locally referrable guide to consult
b) content to experiment with
c) pre-made taxonomy to refer to and learn from
d) a CMS that teaches itself
Ways to do it:
a) Add the sql dump of the handbook to the database.sql script.
b) Make the handbook a module that adds/deletes the book, and ship it as default enabled.
c) Make a block called "context help" which detects URLs and displays corresponding documentation in the block
Precautions:
a) Size. I think it will be a little big
b) Indexing. some mechanism to stop crawlers; so that we dont have a thousand copies of the handbook online (happens with all docs these days - e.g. PHP Manual)
Also, since people will install on localhost, fast searches = more reading, less RTFA questions, etc.
