Wayne, I'm happy to see it going, too, and I'm excited to be seeing contributions already. Thanks for your thoughts!
I really like your idea for making a help template. I think it would be useful in making the process of developing the guidelines as inclusive as possible. I will work on that in the morning; I think it would be a simple question mark icon that links to the tutorial and has the mouseover title as "What is this?" similar to the way MS does it. How does that sound? Jesse On 14/07/2009 22:07, Wayne Mackintosh wrote: > Hi Jesse, > > Thanks for all your work in setting this up.
