Getting Started

Like Mark’s Resource Center, the Rudder should sit at the top of the site collection. My solution is contained in one document library. The location of the library and/or the need for it to be a separate subsite is entirely dependent upon the architecture and permission structure of the site. The library/site permissions must be set to read-only for all staff, granting elevated permissions to those contributing to the documentation.

From Site Actions, choose New Document Library. I plan to use this library to get quick proof of concept ideas and to capture documentation notes, so with that in mind, upon creation of the library, I have chosen the default options of the template to be a web part page document type (see Figure 2-1). This facilitates creating web part pages that are handy for all kinds of quick mockups and provides another option for restructuring and filtering information captured in this library on dedicated pages as this resource grows.
