# Change User Description Committed
#1 386 heather_van_steenburgh Changes targeted to improve useability for the casual user:
1) Move CODELINES processing information to separate page so
  a) additional information can be displayed about it
  b) user isn't overwhelmed with so many available actions on the main page.
2) Use more explicit titles.
3) Change order of search items.
3) Replace readme for admins with a User Guide.
