Welcome! This group is for news and discussions related to Drupal documentation. If you join this group, you'll be signed up to receive email notifications; you can change your preferences on your account page. You can also subscribe to posts via RSS (check the sidebar of this page), and via email using the links at the bottom of this page.
Anyone can contribute to documentation, and the entire Drupal community will benefit from your help! You do not have to formally join a team (or this group) or ask for permission -- just start writing and editing. The Contribute to Documentation section on Drupal.org has more information, and the New Contributors section on Drupal.org has some tasks that will help you get you started.
If you have ideas about how the processes, procedures, and tools for Drupal documentation can be improved, the Documentation Working Group (a committee that is part of the Drupal project governance structure) invites you to make suggestions. Information on how to do that is on the Documentation Working Group home page.

It appears that we are going to have to use Story and comments as the Wiki nor the Story shows revisions made so everything will have to be done in comments which only Story has.

I need an over simplification to get my head around what I am creating with Drupal. I'd appreciate it if someone lets me know if I'm wrong. Without going into the actual technology and mechanics or what additional modules can do.
Drupal provides a engine to show content and a way to hold that content.
How the content is held is based on tables, which creates a database.
When you create a piece of content it is put into this table.
Information can be pulled out of this table based on:
