Note (11/18/06): as expected, it's really hard to maintain documentation on a regular basis. This is particularly true in my Drupal learning process which is tied to the larger conversations/documentations in that community (the Drupal forums and handbooks). My 'journaling' is even more spread out as I learn more contributed modules, especially CiviCRM in my case, which entails participation in other listservs and forums. I also test Drupal and its contrib modules for some organizations so some 'documentations' go in those particular conversations too.

So, what I'm going to do is to bring in my 'collection' of conversations from the Drupal forums into this journal by linking to my page of Drupal posts. This will serve as my Drupal journal for now. I will be rearranging these posts and posts from other places into more organized documentations later.

I thought a chronicle of how this site is being created using Drupal would be an appropriate content to explore the book module in Drupal. The pages that will go in this book will try to follow the workflow below:

• Define a task.
• Identify features and functionalities in Drupal that would accomplish the task.
• Link to existing documentation related to such features and functionalities.
• Execute task and add value to existing documentation by detailing the process.
• Evaluate the features and functionalities against the task.
• Identify areas for further study and exploration.
