[tssg-tech] Re: I am debugging the "Getting Started" for me as a new user.

Lucy,
I am doing it step by step & expect my results to differ from desired or 
expected.
I won't highlight the changes but can make a PDF (read-only) so to allow cut & 
paste to official DOC.

This will avoid my needing to buy latest Microsoft Office & Windows.
I am running XP Home with out MsOffice.

Fonts are already at issue when I open the DOC on the Yahoo group.
Also people may not want to reinstall or update to get added tools installed.

I wasn't sure how to address the non-developer members as spectators.
It may take a while to get the right blend for PHP & Android working.
They may end up separated.
I am also not a programmer so my use may be less demanding.
My background is Educational Services, Documentation & Publication (ESD&P).
I write documentation better than I code.
