5. Forums.
- 6. I have a suggestion: Help_requests might be more tidy and productive on a new page.
7. Sugar glossary <Glossary>
8. Former sites—these have a short history of problems, but are no longer preferred by Sugar Labs.
- I made an .html draft, let me know if I can e-mail it to you. --Inkyfingers 06:53, 27 October 2011 (EDT)
- Feel free to begin implementing changes; fresh perspectives are important for continuing improvement. --FGrose 13:49, 27 October 2011 (EDT)
- Thanks. Can you give me feedback on "Help requests might be more tidy and productive on a new page."--Inkyfingers 18:35, 27 October 2011 (EDT)
- I agree. The exploration path we would want to support might proceed from the Sidebar 'Get help' -> 'Sugar help' (Finding help information) -> 'Request help' (on A, B, C, ...) --FGrose 18:56, 27 October 2011 (EDT)
- I have left a section at the bottom unfinished - I did not actually check it was all duplicated. I was going to come back to the style for headings, esp. in relation to Contents, depending what the finished job looked like!--Inkyfingers 22:16, 27 October 2011 (EDT)
- Anything missed can be retrieved from one of the history pages. Messages to other editors are best left on talk pages (like this) or inline, with <!-- inline comment --> markup, and not on high traffic pages, unless the comments apply generally. Also please notice the edit summary comments on the history pages. Thanks for you contributions! --FGrose 23:45, 27 October 2011 (EDT)

Mid session review
Firstly on a personal note thank you Fgrose for digging me out of a pickle. It was a mistake for me to try to change so much so quickly with my level of experience. It was a mistake to remove headings - my intention was to achieve a fresh start - error. Thank you for putting them back for me.
