WCER Server Changes - May vs Maple
WCER's main projects folder (known as projects$ to Mac users, and the N: drive to Windows users) was migrated to more advanced equipment a few years ago. Part of that migration involved changing its name from maple to may.
Any mappings or links using the old name of maple will still resolve to the correct name of may, and should be unnoticeable by the end user, but we will be updating all our documentation to reflect the new server name and refer to the server as may from this point forward.
