Introduction

This is the starting point for Wiki Contributors.
You can see on the content of the navbar and the wish list on the To Do Page, that a lot of work is not done yet. But if you like to help look for a point you are interested in, write your thoughts on the To Do Page and contribute.
This wiki has a lot of pages with tables. This tables contain lists of other lists or lists of pages, applications and so on. Most package names and some list names are in black letters. If you think you could give some more information to a package, application or list create a new page and contribute.

You get a new page if you mark the name with [[Special:MyLanguage/Foo|Foo]] on the editor page. Than safe this change. You get

Foo

in red letters. Now you can start with the page Foo.

It is recommended to compare with other wiki pages, for example: How is it done on the openSUSE wiki.

  • Look at the To Do Page
  • Start with tings, where you think, it could help all users and should be done;
  • This wiki is organized like spiders web. The center is the Main Page. From here it goes in all directions. If you don't know were to begin, go to the end of a thread and look if you can contribute there.
