 ===== Why a wiki? =====

 Victron Software and hardware products develop at an incredible pace. The number of differing combinations and configurations has exploded with the advent of the Assistants. This is fantastic, but also creates quite a challenge: to maintain up to date documentation. This wiki allows us to keep the (software related) documentation up to date far more easily and as a live document. Everyone within the Victron organization (Sales, R&D, Service) and even Victron customers and end-users alike can make changes.

 ==== Editing pages ====
-To edit pages, subscribe and login first. After logging in, you will be able to edit all existing pages. There are two editors, a graphical one (CKG Edit) and one that lets you edit the raw text (DW Edit). Use the button below the edit box to switch between them. Both have their advantages.
+To edit pages, subscribe and login first. After logging in, you will be able to edit all existing pages, as well as create new ones. The best place to put new content is in the [[drafts:start|drafts section]].
-Tip:Try the DW Edit (Native DokuWiki Editor) first, as opposed to CKG Edit.
+To get started, first have a look at the syntax of an existing page, or even copy a part of it. To create a new page, start with editing an existing page: add a link to the page-to-be-created in the existing page. Then click that link and you'll be able to create it.
-It helps to learn, and saves having to formally learn the formatting syntax or markup language. In DW Edit you can copy and paste the syntax from an existing page, to create new parts of a page. Or just use experiment using the toolbar. It's less daunting once you try!
