In-Progress Projects Carried Over from Last Term

  • “Resource Record Fields that Publish in the PUI” was published in the User Manual in August and an announcement about the new documentation went out to the Users Group listserv. Additional work on this project will be in response to any comments or feedback received from the community.

New Projects for This Term

  • Begin to address duplicate pages in documentation by consolidating into one higher level page. The affected pages and more detailed description of the issue are listed on the Future User Doc Projects page.
