[Archon-L] training required for Archon

[Scott Schwartz]

Jacqui,
Thanks for your note.  You do not need special IT training to install 
and use Archon.  You should be able to easily install Archon with some 
very simple guidance from your IT people regarding the location of your 
SLQserver or MySQL server database and PHP2 webserver.  As for the use 
of Archon's administrative interface, all of the modules have pop-up 
information bottons built into the program to help explain what types of 
information should be placed in each field.  You may need some help with 
the importing of your current word lists, but this should be fairly 
straight forward.  I hope this has helped answer your question.  If not 
please let me and the rest of the Archon team know.  Thanks.  Scott
