OBO-Edit: Documentation Week

The OBO-Edit Working Group has agreed to devote the week of June 30th, 2008, to testing OBO-Edit2 and writing user documentation. We appreciate your help!

Please let everyone know what you're concentrating on in your testing, and which help pages you're working on, so we don't duplicate each others' work. You can enter this information below.

Help pages

Here is a list of all the current OBO-Edit help pages. If you are working on one, please put your name after it, and commit your changes to svn (or send them to Nomi) as soon as you're done. If you've checked one and it's up-to-date, please put "(ok)" after it. If you think we should add a new help page (or delete an existing one) please tell Nomi.
