Re: Guidance materials on the web

All,

First, I want to thank Marios, Marietta and Costsas for taking the 
initiative on this important issue.

As for the the case of researcher notes and guidance. Jesper has 
recently added a "guidance" report type. Reports that are tagged as 
"guidance" appear in the guidance section of the relevant topic. For an 
example, see: 
http://www.weblabs.org.uk/wlplone/Groups/sequences/group_guidance_index_html
I suggest that we all use it for this purpose. Along with sending the 
reference of any such report you have authored to Marios, please go to 
the report's properties page and change its type. That way, all the 
guidance material we already have will be automatically indexed and 
organized.

best,

- Yishay
