I at least want to understand everything that ordinary users will see when they log into RT - for example "approvals". The most appropriate wiki page seemed to be http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/ManualApprovals but it's not very clear. (Also I'm not sure of the etiquette but I prefer to post all replies back to the mailing list in case the info helps someone else) Chris -----Original Message----- From: Robert Long [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2007 2:57 PM To: Christopher Short Subject: Re: [rt-users] New to RT - doco frustrations If you're just going to administer RT, the book should be fine, if you're going to be developing scrips and the such, you should use perldoc and be proficient with perl. I know that's probably not what you're wanting to hear, but AFAIK no good documentation of the methods or data structures for RT exists anywhere. .r' Christopher Short wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm new to RT but am flogging it at my company so I'd like to > understand the different features it has to offer. > > It seems pretty cool and exciting. > > > > BUT ... much of the wiki.bestpractical.com is broken-formatted and hard > to follow.
