[Hidden-tech] Drupal tutor

[Neal Priestly]

Wendy-

Drupal has a lightweight, free, hosted offering called Drupal Gardens.  It's
Drupal with training wheels, but it gives a feel for what the tool can
accomplish.

I set one up in an afternoon, just to kick the tires - my prior experience
with writing for the web involved a text editor and an HTML reference book
back when that was state of the art.

I would suggest starting there.  A tutoring session may still have value
beyond that experience, but that experience may add significant value to a
tutoring session as well.
