Chapter 1. Finding Answers
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.
Manuals
Four Manuals are being written, for the User, Administrator, Technician and Developer.
Bug Tracker
Find, report and fix bugs here http://bugs.contribs.org/
You don't have to be a programmer to help or use the bug tracker. Bugs also include fixing things and making suggestions on documentation, translations and the SME Server web sites.
Refer to BugzillaHelp for helping with bug fixing and verification.
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 You can also find outdated, misinformed or wrong information.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 HowTos here
Frequently Asked Questions
The Frequently Asked Questions 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.
Email Lists
There are a number of lists available to join at http://lists.contribs.org/mailman/listinfo
List descriptions and email archives are available.
Old Wikis
The wiki from the old sourceforge site is at: http://smeserver.sourceforge.net/HomePage
The wiki from the old Xoops site is archived at: http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/
Be aware that the vast majority of the information on the phpwiki is outdated and incorrect.
