-==About this Wiki==
-A '''Wiki''', or WikiWikiWeb, is a collaborative hypertext environment, with an emphasis on easy access to and modification of information.
-'''You''' can edit any nearly any page by pressing the '''edit''' tab at the top of the page.  And if you
-see clear vandalism, '''you''' can easily [[UUWiki:How to revert a page to an earlier version|revert it to an earlier version]].
-To learn more about what a Wiki is, and why vandalism is less of a problem than you may think, see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki Wikipedia page on wikis], or read about [[http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WhyWikiWorks WhyWikiWorks]].
-A few pages (like this one) are "protected" to cut down on wikispam.  Use the "discussion page" to ask one of the sysadmins to change this page.
-Note that all pages on UUWiki are licensed under the [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] as discussed at [[UUWiki:Copyrights]].  Do not submit copyrighted work without permission!
-Interesting starting points for this wiki:
-* [[Special:Recentchanges]]: see which topics people are currently working on here
-* [[Special:Popularpages]]: the most popular pages
-* [[Help:Contents]]: help to get you going
-* [[Sand box]]: feel free to change this page and experiment with editing
-* [[Help:Editing]]: How to make links, lists, headers, etc.
-* [[Installation experiences]] and information for administrators.
-With this wiki software, there is a "discussion" ("Talk:") page for each normal page.
-Normal practice is to try to reflect the current consensus on the actual "article" pages, without
-attribution of who contributed what, and to use the "Talk" page (click on the "discussion" tab at the top) to talk ''about'' that consensus, in signed entries.  If you "'''log in'''" (via the link in the upper right - a quick, painless process after initial email confirmation) you can easily sign and timestamp your contributions to talk pages by entering four
-tildas in a row: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>
-Another good reason to log in, is that you can mark pages you want to keep track of and track
-updates via '''my watchlist'''.
-Please use the [[sand box]] to try things out, rather than creating new test pages.
