Hi Megan,

A while back, the OSP community made a concerted effort to update the help files for the OSP tools.  We got started before 2.7 was released, so they files are current as of 2.6.  The help files that are currently distributed with 2.8 and 2.9 are much older---really only accurate as of OSP 2.2.  Elizabeth Venstra has updated the Sakai KB with the newer help but some development work is needed to get them added to the 2.7, 2.8, and
2.9 builds.  Stephen Marquard normally does this work, but he doesn't have the time and suggested that we take the issue to the TCC.  Can you get this item on a TCC agenda and find out whether someone can merge the updated help files into these releases.  Stephen's note below indicates where to lcate the synchronization scripts.  Let me know if you need additional information.

Many thanks,

Lynn (and the OSP community and IU KB team)
