-====== Welcome to our documentation wiki =====
+====== Welcome to your new DokuWiki ======
-===== Why a wiki? =====
+Congratulations, your wiki is now up and running. Here are a few more tips to get you started.
-Software products and also hardware products develop at a super fast pace. The amount of different combinations and configurations has exploded since the advent of the Assistants. This is fantastic, but also creates quite a challenge: to maintain updated documentation. This wiki allows us to keep the (software related-)documentation up to date with a lot less effort. Everybody inside the Victron organization (Sales, R&D, Service) and even Victron customers and end-users can make changes.
+Enjoy your work with DokuWiki,\\
+-- the developers
-==== Commenting ====
+===== Create your first pages =====
-There is a Disqus commenting section below each page. Use it to ask questions and put forward suggestions. The comments are monitored by Victron staff.
-==== Automatic email on updates ====
+Your wiki needs to have a start page. As long as it doesn't exist, this link will be red: [[:start]].
-It is possible to get an email notification when documentation is updated.
+Go on, follow that link and create the page. If you need help with using the syntax you can always refer to the [[wiki:syntax|syntax page]].
-  - Register as a user and log in
+You might also want to use a sidebar. To create it, just edit the [[:sidebar]] page. Everything in that page will be shown in a margin column on the side. Read our [[doku>faq:sidebar|FAQ on sidebars]] to learn more.
-  - Go to the [[:start]] page of the wiki, and then click the subscribe button at the right.
-  - Choose the asterisk (*)
-  - Choose for the daily digest email
-==== Editing pages ====
+Please be aware that not all templates support sidebars.
-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 let's you edit the raw text (DW Edit). Use the button below the edit box to switch between them. Both have their advantages.
-Victron staff will receive an email of all changes made.
+===== Customize your Wiki =====
-==== Adding images ====
+Once you're comfortable with creating and editing pages you might want to have a look at the [[this>doku.php?do=admin&page=config|configuration settings]] (be sure to login as superuser first).
-Images can be added through the media manager, and even easier is to copy and simply paste the image in the editor. Note that this doesn't work in all browsers and/or depends on privacy settings. For some computers it works only in Internet Explorer, and on others it works in Chrome and Firefox as well.
-Tip: use the Snipping tool in Windows to make screenshots.
+You may also want to see what [[doku>plugins|plugins]] and [[doku>templates|templates]] are available at DokuWiki.org to extend the functionality and looks of your DokuWiki installation.
+===== Join the Community =====
+DokuWiki is an Open Source project that thrives through user contributions. A good way to stay informed on what's going on and to get useful tips in using DokuWiki is subscribing to the [[doku>newsletter]].
+The [[http://forum.dokuwiki.org|DokuWiki User Forum]] is an excellent way to get in contact with other DokuWiki users and is just one of the many ways to get [[doku>faq:support|support]].
+Of course we'd be more than happy to have you [[doku>teams:getting_involved|getting involved]] with DokuWiki.
