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 Wiki has been subject to a severe spam attack in the last few days. 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.
