IMPORTANT: re: Changes not taking effect.

It has come to my attention that several FAQ files are not actually linked
from the course page. This should be fixed soon. you should look over
them to see what they address (it could save you a lot of time later!).

In the mean time, you should know that Foundation has a bad habbit of not
always (actually, rarely) applying any changes you make if you already
have an implemented version. To correct this probelem, go to the
"versions" tab (top left segment of project manager window) and delete
everything there (ie rev1, ver1 ... delete at the root of the tree and it
will all be gone). Now, all your changes will take effect, since you
have deleted all the old stuff. (This also drastically reduces the amount
of space used for your project, so if space is a issue you may want to do
this every time before you quit.)
