''Based on [http://wiki.maemo.org/Contributing_to_the_wiki Maemo wiki contribution guidelines]''

Creating articles in the wiki is a collaborative process. After you have written your piece others may:
* Edit
* Alter
* Adapt
* Add
So don't worry about making your article perfect the first time through, don't hesitate to add content you think is useful and don't hesitate to make edits where you think you can help. There's always somebody to fix anything that breaks.
In general in [[Main Page|labs.igep.es]] we follow the conventions and formatting of [http:///www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia].
== Where to start ==
Before creating a new page, you should first make sure that a page on your topic does not already exist:
# In the search box in the upper right corner, enter your topic.
# If the exact topic exists, the page will open.
# If there are related pages, you will get a search results page. Check if your topic is in the results.
# if your topic does not exist, choose '''create this page'''.
== How to edit a page ==
If you'd like to change a page.
# Make sure that you are logged in to [http://meego.com meego.com]
# Click the '''Edit''' link in the right column.
# Enter your changes in the box.
# In the '''Summary''' box, enter a short explanation of what you did.
# Click '''Show preview''' if you want to check your changes.
# Click '''Save page'''.
== Style ==
* Keep your writing informative and not too casual, not too formal.
* Avoid gratuitously using technical language, explain or define terms which might reasonably be unknown to a reader.
* If you need to use acronyms, explain them with the first use.
* Page names should be short and to the point.
** The page name is a label, not a sentence.
** Use spaces. NoCamelCase (i.e., use "Root access" instead of "RootAccess").
** Use sentence capitalization for page titles. Only proper nouns should be capitalised after the first word (eg. ''Contributing to MeeGo'' is OK, ''Contributing To The Wiki'' is not)
** When using sub-pages, please ensure that you are really grouping several related pages under a common root. Deep hierarchies make for long names. As a general rule, use no more than two levels for subpages (eg. [[Community Office/Meetings]] is OK, [[Community Office/Meetings/Meeting minutes from May 11 2010]] is not)

== Formatting ==
