I missed a bit of feedback from greggles at http://drupal.org/node/1011750#comment-3892330:

"Let's also add a link to a help page (provided by hook_help?) even if that page is totally limited and based on 15 minutes of writing now I think that having something there will help get contributions to improve it."

How about a link from the Conference administration menu to http://groups.drupal.org/node/79003, which will always contain the most up-to-date documentation?

Good idea to include a link!

I would be in favor of making http://drupal.org/node/845866 the primary documentation destination, since it's part of the Site Building guide. I've updated that node now. It seems like the documentation is mature enough to keep it in docs. I'm also committed to making it better, now that the COD_support is a lot more mature.

Good point, lisarex - Let's point to the official documentation!

Specifically, I'll do a big documentation push for alpha3 release.

This is ready to be exported. We now have a menu link to an exportable page full of help info, and that points to the official help.

Again... because previous one was using outdated version of COD (things move fast around here ;))

And here it is as a diff. Looks good on first pass to me.

The node body is using markdown syntax but that module isn't part of COD. We could just write out the HTML for headers, I think that'd be better than leaving it in markdown format.

FWIW patch applied correctly and I get the page /cod-help all good.

The patch has a line for a menu link but I'm not seeing it in a menu. Where should it be showing?

It should show up in the conference administration menu. While I'm tempted to have everyone use Markdown, I can also see how HTML is good. I'm not sure offhand if we can export input formats.

h2 and h3 tags aren't part of the default filtered html input, so I made them 'strong'. This should be fine since this node shouldn't ever be live. I also made the link to the d.o. documentation a bit more prominent.

Updated cod_base feature attached.

Rolled the above as a patch updated for the latest cod_support.

For some reason this isn't getting promoted to the frontpage by default and the "COD help" link is showing above the other links in the conference admin menu.

I think we could commit and pursue the menu link weight in another issue. However, getting docs on the frontpage of the site is important and I'm working on a patch for that at #1008496: Node timestamps, options overridden and cause uuuid_node components to appear modified.
