Sakai Help Project
This is the home page for the Sakai Help Project. (For general information on Sakai, try Documentation.)
The Help Project seeks to:
- Evolve the online Help tool
- Ensure that Help content in Sakai releases is useful, accurate and up to date
- Ensure that information about how to configure and use the Help tool is accurate and up to date
A number of Sakai production deployments have diverged from using OOTB Help in various ways - either switching it off, or modifying the supplied help. A goal of the Help project is to minimise the work which Sakai adopters need to do to present appropriate help to local users, by increasing the flexibility of the Help tool and content format.
