{{ :SME Server:Community }}
Ideally most of the information you need to run and configure your server will be in the manual

If something you need isn't, work your way down the resources that follow.
  −
If it's appropriate, you can add the material to the wiki, if unsure ask.

===Forums===
  −
Currently here http://wiki.contribs.org/
  −
 
  −
There is an enormous amount of information here, a search can often find just the answer you are after.
  −
You can also find outdated, misinformed or wrong information.
  −
 
  −
The aim should be to transfer valuable information into the Manual or a Howto (with a link in the Howto List)
  −
 
  −
If you can't find the information you are after then post to the forum which is full of friendly helpful people
  −
If applicable, document your answer in the wiki, so it becomes a definitive  answer and not just another hit on a search
  −
 
  −
===How To's===
  −
HowTo's are documents to solve a particular problem
  −
There is a list of [[SME_Server:Documentation:HowTo|HowTos here]]
  −
 
  −
===F.A.Q.====
  −
[[SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]]
  −
 
  −
This page is to be used to document problems that cannot or will not be fixed through development of SME7.
  −
If a problem is fixed it should be moved into the Manual or a Howto.
  −
 
  −
 
  −

  −
