Manual: Preface-Audience

The Documentation Audience comprises a varied set of people:

Current Clients

The majority of our Documentation targets our existing customers. A RidgeStar Interactive Site is a constantly evolving site that really is never complete: It's not unusual for an existing client to wonder if they can do {fill-in-the-blanks} with the site. The Documentation describes what is possible or even already implemented through a direct demonstration in a Segment of RidgeStar itself.

We also constantly add new and improved functions (we call them Features) to either or the Referees.biz site to discuss it and make it available.

If you are a client, we encourage you to use the information as a Reference Document for how your site generally operates, particularly major Site concepts. However, remember that every site works a little differently according to Chapter needs and preferences. For 4.2.4 and up sites, look at the Administrator: RidgeStar-Features list to determine available Features and, of course, which ones are included in your Site.

Evaluators

If you are interested in evaluating if an Interactive Site applies to your own operation, the Documentation provides a great Supplement to the Demonstration Referees.biz segments. With few exceptions, all of the Segments on Referees.biz operate exactly like an actual Referee Management Site (one popular variation on the RIdgeStar Interactive Sites).

To get more in depth explanations of how the various concepts generally apply to each Site and Visitor, we encourage you to logon as different Users at Referees.biz.

Researchers

Finally, our documentation may help those inevitable people who stumble upon it on the Net. Some information does provide a General Background and we hope that you find something that is useful here or wherever your wandering about the World Wide Web may take you!
