New Help Pages

One year ago we decided to disable our help documentation, since it was not up to date with the current status of the tool. The decision was taken based on the fact that Indico was going through a complete overhaul of its back-end, which implied significant interface changes every two or three months. It wasn't just worth rewriting the documentation every time.

At the beginning of this year, we started working on a new help site. We were lucky to count on the expertise of Maria Dimou, who invested a lot of time reframing a few parts so that they'd become more user-oriented and actually rewriting from scratch most of the rest, so that it would fit the "new" Indico. The result is now accessible and can be consulted through the "Help" link at the bottom of every Indico page.

We do have an additional surprise for our users, though: this new documentation is enriched with walkthrough videos that will explain you how to perform Indico's most used actions step by step. This is once again thanks to Maria's work, together with Alex Manzoni, a University of Geneva Master's student in Learning Technologies, who lent us his expertise (and his voice!) Many thanks to both of them for this great piece of work!

We hope that this new documentation will be useful to you. As usual, don't hesitate to let us know if you have any suggestions!
