It's just like moving object from point A to point B.  No programming is 
needed.  Except that it takes time, so it's easy :)

There's only the link to sign in in SUMO, but no link in any page to let 
us sign up!  Luckily there's Google which finds out the URL for me! 
Strange, or is it intentional?  Anyway.

I'm looking for a sandbox so I could try things without committing 
anything.  You know, like in wikipedia.org where we can use sandbox page 
to try out things like formatting, etc.  I haven't found one yet.  If 
you could tell me whether there's one or not, that could save my time.

Do you want one whole page (ie amend to the current FAQ)?  Or do you 
want several smaller pages?
