This document assumes you have already been able to successfully install Sakai following either the Sakai 2.4 Installation Guide or the Development Environment Walkthrough (or both). It is also recommended that you take a moment to familiarize yourself with using the application as outlined in the "Using the Software" section of the release notesbefore exploring the topics in this guide.
If you get stuck during the installation or configuration process, please start by searching this site and/or an archive of the sakai-dev list (such as gmane). If all else fails, join the Sakai developer list (sakai-dev mailing list on collab ) or the Sakai production list (production) and ask for help. For more information, see the "Joining the Community" section of this document.
