-- SUMMARY --

Journal module adds additional fields to all forms in a Drupal site to allow
developers and site administrators to record and track all actions that have
been performed to setup a site or change its configuration.

Journal is primarily useful for developers and site administrators working in a 
team environment. Since Drupal is a full-fledged content management framework,
it is often not easy to communicate, track and audit all changes that have been
applied to a site. Even without contributed modules one is able to build a
totally customized site.

-- INSTALLATION --

* Copy journal module to your modules directory and enable it on the modules
  page.

* Go to Administer -> User management -> Access control to allow users of certain
  roles to access the journal (which includes adding new journal entries) by
  enabling 'access journal' and 'access site reports' permissions.

* Optionally enable the Journal block at Administer -> Build -> Blocks. This
  block displays all entries which have been made in the past for the url
  currently visited.


-- USAGE --

* On any form, you or your co-workers/team are submitting to alter site
  settings and features, enter a meaningful description of your action into the
  journal entry form field.

* To view all changes, go to
  Administer -> Logs -> Journal entries
