BJ,

I have added access permissions for your user on the Undersun doc site. Your username for the account I found in there is "[hidden email]" and you password is as it was before, or you can request a new one from the login page.

For now please add new pages to the OFBiz wiki space and then existing editors can review them and move them to the end-user doc space.

-David
