Congrats to Jim on the effective move. Well done. RTE is a powerful and wonderful addition. And glad to know that some formerly hard edges have a smoother finish. Randy, I agree that small groups working together is something that we should work on. I'm going to be looking for opportunities to

Alison, Randy The implementation of RTE will also impact on our training and support initiatives. We're in the final stages of polishing a set of revised RTE help tutorials to be used for WikiEducators who prefer WYSIWYG editing. I agree -- we must continue to find creative ways to help and
