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'''
+
== the plan ==
''Dev will flip the switch to CompostUs is less than 24 hours.''
+
* fix the ones that need fixing for the new layout
  
=== the plan ===
+
===to-do===
* <s>Copy/paste entire [[HelpIndex]] page here</s>
+
* [[PersonalPage]] - ''needs <s>updated layout</s> text <s>and screenshots</s> '''now''''' -- '''Mark, what's the category for members now?'''
* <s>remove the parts we don't need</s>
 
* <s>verify that we have the whole list</s>
 
* 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 <s>strike</s> 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
