Description Jim des Rivieres CLA 2004-12-03 14:26:02 EST 
Support for Welcome content will be enhanced by a number of improvements: 
authoring of welcome content will be made easier by providing easy preview of 
the resulting pages when all the content is composed; whenever possible, help 
documents will be shown in place to reduce the need to leave the Welcome 
context; transition to workbench will be made less abrupt with various degrees 
of welcome still present for the user to return; support for welcome in 
sophisticated stacked products will be enhanced. [Platform UI]
Comment 1 Mazen Faraj CLA 2005-03-13 04:16:16 EST 
This enhancement is big for one feature. 
Splitting out two issues, for now:
1) Enhance usability of authoring intro pages. bug 87870 
2) support for welcome in sophisticated stacked products will be enhanced. bug 
84820
Comment 2 Mazen Faraj CLA 2005-03-28 17:07:07 EST 
3) whenever possible, help documents will be shown in place to reduce the need 
to leave the Welcome context;  bug 89297
Comment 3 Mazen Faraj CLA 2005-03-30 21:38:03 EST 
full feature will be complete by M7
Comment 4 Mazen Faraj CLA 2005-05-12 04:08:08 EDT 
More enhancements:
1) Added enhanced support for embedding Help documents in Welcome pages. 
showHelp Intro URL now can specify a targetDiv where the help document will be 
embedded, instead of embedding in the full Intro page. 

2) Added support for HTML presentation on Linux and Mac.
Comment 5 Mazen Faraj CLA 2005-05-12 16:43:09 EDT

"authoring of welcome content will be made easier by providing easy preview of 
the resulting pages when all the content is composed;" 

opened bug : Intro preview bug 94904  to track. 
Dropped from 3.1 plan. 
Revisit post 3.1
