 ====== Example Addon ======
-TODO: Finish this page.
+This section of the admin was created by the Example Addon.  If you install and enable that addon, the admin menu items will display.
+<tip c w>NOTE the example addon cannot be fully installed within the system.  It is designed NOT to be fully installed as an illustration of a potential issue to developers that wish to create their own addon.  The example addon provides no functionality and so could not provide a feature if it could be installed.  The example addon will "conflict" with another addon on purpose to illustrate that an addon can conflict with other addons if not properly created.</tip>
+===== Developer Info =====
+This category is actually created automatically when you "add" an admin page (see //admin.php// the function //init_pages//).
+Any pages you add using geoAdmin::addAddonPage() will be placed in this category.  If you specify a "parent" for the admin page, the page will also appear in the admin menu wherever you specify.
+For more information, see the "PHP docs" contained in the files for the example addon.  To get started, take a look at our [[developers/start]] section in this user manual.
