Charles,
It was late when I did this, so I don't have time to review my own corrections, so if you find some new spellling or grammar errors, then please correct them.  Then transfer the corrections to the help site and update the changelog file.

Thanks!

"Checked Out for Transfer"

Great!

Michelle,

This document has been updated on the help site.  I have also implemented what you suggested regarding the issue with drop-down lists and multi-select boxes.  The changelog has been noted: http://help.joomla.org/content/view/704/178/.

Everyone,

This content item is ready for another revision, or proof-reading, by someone who has not already proof-read it.

Fresh eyes for proof-reading might discover something that was missed in the first revisions.

Thank you!

Charles

Yes, it is time for fresh eyes to review this help screen!

Thanks!

Hi Michelle,

Let me know if this needs to be updated for the 1.1x docs.  I think that I am understanding that we have just converted the 1.0 to 1.1, but I want to make sure this doc is updated.  Thanks.

Charles

Hi Charles I just moved these over to the 1.1 area and also updated the changelog

Module: Newsflash

Module: Random Image

Module: Who's Online

Module: Polls

Are you working on the "Related Items" module ? (see my post in that module's thread)

rdb and Charles,

I glad to see that you are coodinating things between you!!!

No problem.  Since I have the tendency to check out items and then not get them back in until the weekend, communication is vital... 

Thanks  rdb!



This can be done by anyone in the community who wishes to proof-read occasionally without committing to the doc project on an on going manner.
