Basic End-User Training Manual for D5 sites
This is the Basic End-User Training Manual I've been meaning to contribute for a while. Thanks to my former bosses at Raised Eyebrow Web Studio for giving me the go ahead to rework it and contribute it back to the community!
As a disclaimer, this was written to work with the specific set of modules and method of site building that was standard for us, and I am well aware that the image and file management is not optimal for many (both use IMCE). You will undoubtedly want to comb through the manual if you wish to use it, and adjust it to fit your own system, it would be great if any modified versions could be reposted with a description of the changes.
This manual is written for Drupal 5 sites, using the following contrib modules: TinyMCE, IMCE, Event, and SimpleNews. I've pared it down from a much larger manual, and intend to post the extended manual when I've finished cleaning it up, possibly in a few different pieces.
It's an OpenOffice .odt file, and some of the screenshots have already been added, but ones that are better taken from finished sites have not. I have attempted to put [square brackets and bold text] wherever there is text that obviously needs to be customized on a per site basis, so you should be able to do a search for all the opening square brackets to make sure you catch them all. Also, wherever the site address is written, it appears as http://www.yoursite.com, so you can do a search and replace for www.yoursite.com and swap in your actual URL.
If anyone has any suggestions for future additions, revisions or catches any mistakes, please post a comment and let me know!

Thanks for posting that
Hi Ariane,
Thanks for posting the manual. This is a great foundation for putting together a documentation package. I've only scanned the first dozen pages but so far this looks great!

What's the license?
Ariane, what license are you / Raised Eyebrow releasing this under? The handbook is Attribution-Share Alike, which is what I would recommend.
Updated w/licensing
Thanks Andrew and Boris!
I've just updated the file with the suggested Licensing info.
