This wiki is a major documentation resource for Xen.org project. It is freely editable by everyone and participation is actively encouraged by anyone who can see a way to improve it. Below you will find details about the wiki itself, including how to find what you are looking for and how to create an account and start editing. So don't hesitate: improve something today!

Icon Ambox.png The Xen Project Wiki has been subject to sustained severe spam attacks in the last few years. To solve this and keep the wiki usable for everyone, we had to lock down the wiki and create an editors group. CAPTCHAs do not appear to work against the spam attacks we have seen. Until we have a solution in place, please send an email to community dot manager at xenproject dot org requesting that you need wiki access. If you have an account, include your wiki username; if you don't have an account, please give a preferred username and email address, and one will be created for you.

Information for Authors

Tools

Stuff you should know

  • We do require users to register with the wiki before you can edit pages (in response to problems with spammers)
  • We do not currently protect ANY Wiki pages. We will monitor the situation and may change policy in future.

How you can help

Navigating the Wiki

Common topics are accessible from the main page.

Search

Navigation bar

Put your keyword in the searchbox.

  • Go - (or Enter on keyboard) will take you automatically to the article, if it exists.
  • Search - will search the text of all pages on the wiki (with some restrictions, see below).
  • More help on search

Categories

We use categories to help manage Wiki pages:

  • Category Index lists the key managed categories in the wiki
  • Our category pages are not normally just indexes, but have a hand-edited header, which highlight important information.

Navigation

The main categories that are used in the Wiki's navigation structure on the left. Pages in these categories will be automatically added to the index.
