Usage

  • Users: Read it. Challenge it. Suggest edits. Hug your mom.

Editing

  • Please try to write valid, semantic HTML 5.
  • Use progressive enhancement only. Make sure the manual just works without frills.

History

This repository was founded after a post-release maintenance checkup revealed differing copies of the manual in our repos. They were merged, checked and validated and while it wasn't that bad, it's nevertheless a chore we would not like to keep repeating.
