As with every piece of documentation in Sakai, we have to thank and acknowledge all of the writers and editors that have contributed their time and effort to the project. Without their work, our users would be lost!  So, a big thank you to everyone that has contributed to the help files to date.

I (Alan) recommend propose that we adopt the following changes for all "Home Page" documents for any tool.  I believe these changes will help our users find and use the information more efficiently.

• Add clear audience information on everyone page.
• Add clear audience headings in the "How do I...?" area.
• Adopt the great categories that Stanford pioneered in the Tests & Quizzes documentation.
• Write the home page document from the perspective of all users of the tool, not just instructors.

Please see the Comments section at the bottom of the page for more discussion.
