Since SME Server is a community product, mainly powered by a small number of developers and a small crowd there is a large user community. There is a wide variety of communication media used and a lot of valuable information shared in this community. All people contributing donate their free time to this product and get nothing in return as SME Server is free, as in beer.
+
As it can be difficult for new people to know what to expect from the community, where to put their information, and how to ask questions, we kindly ask you to carefully read this page as it tries to briefly describe what to expect where.
