Admins: it is recommended that you create a wiki account and subscribe to the page regex `.*` (all pages) to keep informed of what everyone is up to. Then, please document all of your work on here somewhere - that way we will not only have a record, but get emailed when it is done. From my experience, I would recommend longer pages, instead of dividing a topic into lots of subpages. When there are too many subpages, I've found that some will be updated, and some will fall out of date. (Of course, use your judgment here.)

Admin Area

Links to detailed policies, procedures and information specific to HCoop. The resources here should allow HCoop admin team members to share information about every part of the complete system, and to allow easier training of future team members.

From my experience, I would recommend longer pages, instead of dividing a topic into lots of subpages. When there are too many subpages, I've found that some will be updated, and some will fall out of date. (Of course, use your judgment here.)
