Some starting points: * RecentChanges: see where people are currently working * HelpForBeginners: to get you going * WikiSandBox: feel free to change this page and experiment with editing * MoinMoinTodo: discussion about the improvement of MoinMoin * FindPage: search or browse the database in various ways RG Members can edit any page by pressing the link at the bottom of the page. Ask a fellow member if you dont have the password, its intent is simply to help cut down wiki script attacks not to keep humans out. Here's a hint: Its the name of the group without "the" and "Inc" and no pspaces or caps. :) Capitalized words joined together form a WikiName, which hyperlinks to another page. The highlighted title searches for all pages that link to the current page. Pages which do not yet exist are linked with a question mark: just follow the link and you can add a definition. Be careful, and to learn more about what a WikiWikiWeb is, read about WhyWikiWorks and the WikiNature. Also, consult the WikiWikiWebFaq.
