we have almost finished an Umbraco implementation and as part of the project we need to deliver a User Manual to our client. It would typically contain:
- how to login - how to create new content - the different ways of publishing and unpublishing content (with delayed publishing, cascade publishing etc) - how to copy/move/delete content - how to add an image/document to the media library - etc...
So clearly, technical topics are absolutely to be avoided: nothing about templates, XSL, etc which would scare our non-technical users.
I searched around, but couldn't find any user manuals like that. Did anybody ever write one, even if partial, that we could continue upon? I'm sure it would be a great asset for the community as a whole.
An alternative for those of you stumbling across this thread is the Umbraco Editors Manual, which is the most popular project on the our.umbraco site as I write this. It's available here:
User Manual
Hello,

Thanks in advance!
