1. Introduction

This is a simple training manual for the Raptors MOU Workspace in Drupal 7. This manual will give

short descriptions on how to communicate, swap ideas and discuss topics within the Raptors MOU

Workspace. This workspace is best accessed by using either Firefox or Google Chrome web

browsers. Some features may not work well with Internet Explorer due to security

vulnerabilities.

The Raptors MOU Workspace is primarily designed to facilitate the work of three WorkStreams:

Technical Advisory Group (TAG), Saker Falcon Task Force (STF) and Sooty Falcon International

Single Species Action Plan (SFISSAP). Each WorkStream contains different Working Groups.

Members of each WorkStream will be invited to join the Workspace by the Coordinating Unit of the

Raptors MOU or WorkStream Leads.
