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
strikethat 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
