Hi all,

I'm participating in a trial run of a "Masters of Software Arts" program run out of UIUC. Part of the work I've committed to doing for this is to write some documentation for Seaside. I'm going to be writing it in a "minimalist instruction" style - essentially, giving the user hints on how to complete specific, concrete tasks, but leaving them to discover the details. What I need first is to assemble a list of the tasks that I'll be documenting, and I thought that some people on this list might have suggestions.

Here's the beginnings of a list. Please add to it as you see fit. Note that I've tried in some places to avoid the terminology of Seaside ("Using subcomponents") and used more general terms instead ("Breaking the page into smaller parts"). I'd like to stick with that where possible.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers, Avi
