[Using Sakai] Sakai Help tool question

[Jon Hays]

Hi Dave,

It looks like Stephen has the answer for you.  UC Berkeley is currently 
using the property - help.redirect.external.webapp - to redirect help 
queries to a Drupal site.  A while back, I wrote a brief confluence page 
outlining the different ways Sakai Help could be provided.   For 
reference:  http://confluence.sakaiproject.org//x/FAAmAg
