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!
|
The Xen Wiki has been subject to a severe spam attack in the last few months. To solve this and keep the wiki usable for everyone, we had to lock down the wiki and create an editors group. We already put a better CAPTCHA mechanism in place as a first step. Please fill out this form and we will add you to the group. |
Get Started with the Wiki
|
|
|
|
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
- Let us know what information is missing
- Let us know if you come across information about Xen that we should link to
- Participate in Xen Project Document Days
- Become a wiki author and write documentation
Common topics are accessible from the main page.
Search
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.
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.
