| − | '''Purpose of this Wiki Site:''' This site is part of a new effort (as of October 2007) to establish a single, common site for all TinyOS Documentation, akin to the Linux Documentation Project (but for TinyOS, of course). Right now, TinyOS documentation is scattered across many sites and is often poorly maintained. We hope that by using a Wiki - and making the site fairly open to edits from anyone - that it will be possible to create and ''maintain'' TinyOS documentation over a longer period of time. Click [[Special:Allpages| here]] to see an index of all the available pages.
| |
| | | | |
| − | So, you are encouraged to contribute documentation to this site simply by editing this page and adding a link to a new (empty) page. Come back and click on that link and start creating content for the new page. Don't worry too much about organization right now, since we can re-organize things later on if need be. If you are not familiar with the Wiki system, consult the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents User's Guide].
| + | = Documentation = |

| − | Using Google's custom search features, a search engine dedicated to TinyOS has been created. The advantage of using this search engine instead of a normal web search is that only specific sites are indexed. This means that any search results are highly relevant to TinyOS, and your search terms can be very general. For example, if you need help on installing TinyOS in Ubuntu, just search "Ubuntu" in the custom search engine and it will only return links to pages containing the word "Ubuntu" on known TinyOS sites.
