This page is intended to provide some of the basic information that you will need to use BeeSign. Most of the feaures are then relatively easy to discover by exploring the interface. However, if you would like additional instructions about the more advanced features, or information regarding how I implemented BeeSign please contact me directly.
You may also want to try BeeSign 1.3 or read more about the BeeSign Project.
