I was referring specifically to training material for users hosted on someone else's network installation. Whomever hosted the person needs to support them - not the codex.<div><br></div><div>I'm perfectly fine with a section explaining, for example "here's what users in a network experience". that's quite different, as someone setting up a network of sites can offer a multitude of plugins & themes for their users, each different from the next host.<br>
<br></div><div>Think of it this way - if that same user, hosted on Joe's multisite network, is paying Joe to host him, if they show up in the <a href="http://wp.org">wp.org</a> forums looking for help, not only is there nothing I can do to help him, I have no idea what options he has available.</div>
<div><br></div><div>And if it were me in change of a network, and my users were showing up in the <a href="http://wp.org">wp.org</a> forums looking for help? Yes, I'd want them pointed back to me.</div><div><br></div>
<div>You can use <a href="http://wordpress.com">wordpress.com</a> as an example there too - while it's mentioned in the codex, the codex is not the place for support docs for those users. The codex is for documentation for people *running* the network.</div>

At first, training materials did seem a bit abstract to me in the codex (because I primarily use it for researching functions), but there is definitely training materials pre-existing in it to date, and obviously there does need to be a location for training materials. But if you and others think we could separate training from the whatever would be in the codex I could see that being a potential solution to this question.<br>

m3shroom, thanks for the example - that makes sense to me!<br>
