General

Also see Pages to revise/archive

This page is intended to organise the work on wiki pages.

If you want to create a page for the documentation, we are happy for you to take the initiative. However, you should first check that no existing page - either partially or completely - covers the subject you want to document. Consider also improving/expanding a page which seems to be incomplete. If you intend to modify a page substantially, it is a good idea to mention it either in the mailing list doc-discuss or directly with the original writer.

If you start to work on one of the topics below, please post in the mailing list doc-discuss the link to the page you started here, together with your name and current progress. This information should be updated frequently, to avoid duplication or multiple contributors working on the same topic in parallel.

What you can do

We have listed below a structure of the documentation as we imagine it can be, with main items and sub-entries. The existing pages are already linked to. We have assessed their degree of completeness, so you can see which ones you are invited to complete.

We have also given an indication of the priority to be given (high or low) and the skill level needed (normal user, advanced user, expert).

Here is a short list of selected items.
