    Hi there

    AFAIK, there is no specific tutorials module - if there is then I'd also like to know of it.

    I use the Subjects module on a few sites where long documents, or tutorial like material is required.

    Out of interest in this area, what type of functionality, or information would you like to see in a Tutorial module?

    regards

    Sounds like a good application for a Wiki or something similar.

    Anyone use a Wiki with PostNuke?

    Well,
    Sounds like you could use Subject.
    It has categories, and also a paging function so you can add subpages when you require to any already published article.

    The navigation is good, and also seems to take large articles.

    The next revision of PostNuke is supposed to incorporate htmlArea, a WYSIWYG editor (which is quite nice)... this would be ideal for Wiki-like documentation, etc.

    I personally want to set an area up like that which contains various notes, for compiling different programs, tips and various notes about software installs, and perhaps to supplement an internal Engineering group for documentation.

    Is this subjects module a core module, as I don't remember ever coming across it...

    Subjects is not a core module.

    It was written by Yagi and his last version (1.5), which I use, is located at his site http://www.yagi.com.…viewsdownload&sid=4

    Since then, another person has taken over development and release a version 2. I have had a quick look but not upgraded. It can be found at:
