Internal Notes

We removed the info on category publishing settings because we're not really using categories. Saving this here in case we need to add it back:
Category Anyone can view content (including anonymous users), but only admin role users and category members can contribute content. All logged in users can view content, but only Category members can contribute content. Only Category members can view and contribute content. Note: Sub categories under a private category will be visible only to members of those sub categories N/A N/A (The content in categories is publicly visible when categories are set to "Open".)
