I think creating the website is just half the battle. Training editors and authors to use it a huge task too, something I greatly overlooked. A great documentation resource is being built on openpublishapp.com for building the site. How about developing something similar for people who use the site daily to submit articles and blogs? A lot of small publications that will be using OpenPublish can't just hire a full time web editor. I keep thinking that I should really stop and write detailed instructions but it's the last thing I want to do. However, if I did find myself backed against the wall doing it because I have too (which will probably happen), it should be community driven.
How would we as a community go about something doing this? Should we use a Drupal book? I think an end product that can printed would be great.

Its a good idea but the
Its a good idea but the handbook cannot be generalized, in my opinion. Partly because nobody will probably use OP as it is and they will make numerous changes in it (content types, topics, etc.). Also it is likely that the user roles might be different as well, and so is the fields for each content types. I myself did many changes in one of my OP sites (and for that I am actually having trouble updating it to OP 2.0) .
Nevertheless, a general guide would be invaluable for those who want to use the default OP.

As a journalist, I'd be happy to lend a hand for the effort. (I've asked enough questions; it's pay-back time, anyway.)
