[Clipart] BETA OCAL Help Out page changes + navigation ideas

[chovynz]

RE: BETA OCAL Navigation and Help page suggestion.

How would you guys feel if we changed the "Help Out" page title and
navigation bar to "Volunteer Work".

My reason for suggesting this is to be able to create a basic "Help" page -
and Nav button - for people to read about how to do certain tasks or moving
around the Beta site. Or we could put the basic "Help" things I have in mind
on the "About" page. I am thinking of taking a whole heap of tips and hints
from the old OCAL site, the Wiki, and with the new ways of doing things on
the Beta, and putting them into an easy to read and understand format.

My reason for doing THAT is because ever since I joined up to old OCAL it
took awhile to find out how to do certain things. Mostly by trial and error
and lots of lots of traveling the web and reading in many places. Because
I've been involved in the testing of the Beta OCAL, I have found new ways of
doing things (usually by making mistakes.) I'd like to make navigation and
doing things on the Beta as simple as possible, and if they don't understand
that, I want to make a guide for them to follow.

We could use the wiki as a double place (CnP) to put this info, as it's
similar to the FAQ, however, I have an almost pathological dislike of going
to a different website to read help info on the same website. I feel
useability is better when all the main info is right there.

Thoughts?
