welcome

====== Welcome to your new DokuWiki ======

Congratulations, your wiki is now up and running. Here are a few more tips to get you started.

Enjoy your work with DokuWiki,\ -- the developers

===== Create your first pages =====

Your wiki needs to have a start page. As long as it doesn't exist, this link will be red: :start.

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.

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 to learn more.

Please be aware that not all templates support sidebars.

===== Customize your Wiki =====

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 (be sure to login as superuser first).

You may also want to see what doku>plugins and doku>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 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.

Of course we'd be more than happy to have you doku>teams:getting_involved with DokuWiki.
