OurWork (.) Get help pages ready for CompostUs / . (.)

What's involved here? We have HelpIndex. Is it just a question of going through all those links and seeing which screenshots/text will need to change? How do we organize it?

14:02, 17 March 2008 (PDT) Now much higher priority than we thought

Dev will flip the switch to CompostUs is less than 24 hours.

the plan

• Copy/paste entire HelpIndex page here
• remove the parts we don't need
• verify that we have the whole list
• start going through the list to see what need to happen for each page
  • if it's a cross-reference, remove it
  • if it's an external link, remove it
  • if small fix, just do it and strike that idea.
  • if bigger make a note next to the entry
• once we see patterns begin to emerge, we can split the list up into different tasks, or use categories or something
