Hello all, I was looking at the documentation available on the drupal site and it's not as clear as to which pages one might want to turn to first to get comfortable with Drupal 5.x.y In the past there was a set of handbooks that took one from start to the point where one understands all the basics like themes, menus, blocks, and content and related to content access rights for certain groups. If I wanted to print something out from the documentation, what pages would be best to use for this overall information?
It may be that my end users will need something very basic aswell, very, very basic. The idea is to give users who don't know HTML, much less CSS which is nothing in comparrison to PHP... I seek a basic, end user, set of documentation that would cover "using" the site, as it were, without being a web designer. Where might I turn to meet these two needs? or what pages would be able to cover these two user needs, or topic areas? I seek something of the form of "go here to such and such pages..." Please.
I'd be curious as well about how others have used this software.For example, has drupal been used in web sites where the users are not in any way web designers? What role does an administrator have to play in getting a site to that stage where the end users can "use" the site, in the opinion of others on the list that have done this? Examples of how Drupal is used would be desireable...
