 ====== Edit This Manual! ======
 This section of the manual deals with this user manual itself.  The user manual is created using WIKI software, called [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki|DokuWiki]].  If you are not familiar with what a WIKI is, you can find more info about them on the popular [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki|Wikipedia]] website, which itself is a "free encyclopedia WIKI" where every article in it can be written or modified by anyone.
-===== Edit this Manual?!? =====
+===== Work Needed =====
-Anyone who has an active Geo Product license, and who wants to, can edit any page in this user manual.  It is of course totally voluntary, and we do not offer any compensation, besides the satisfaction of helping us keep the user manual as up to date and accurate as possible.  You do not have to ever hit that edit button, but it is there for you to if you want.
+Here is a short todo list of things that need doing in the wiki.  If you have time, consider volunteering some of it!  The below can be done by anyone, you just need to request a wiki account.
-For instance, you might want to edit a page to correct a typo, or you might find out-dated information that you wish to correct, or perhaps there is a //screen cap// image that is out of date that you would like to re-create.  The idea is that you can **help us to help you**.  This section of the user manual will help you help us to help you. That is, it gives info on how to edit pages in the manual, and anything else you may need to know to do that.
+  * [[wiki:corrupted]]
+  * [[wiki:replace_tip]]
+  * Get the old **list plugin** syntax working (will need to find a solution before this can be done).
-==== Geo Maintains this User Manual ====
+===== Edit this Manual?!? =====
-I want to make it clear, that the majority of material found in this user manual is **original content created by Geo**, and that **Geo is responsible** for the information found in this user manual.
+Right now we have closed public registrations.  If you would like to volunteer to help improve the wiki, email the website maintainer.
-We do **not** rely solely on users to maintain the user manual. User submitted edits and additions act only to **enhance the user manual** and keep the user manual as accurate and helpful as possible, but Geo still remains the primary maintainers of the information.  In the open source community, it is often said that "Many eyes make the bug shallow", meaning that the more people looking at something and have the ability to change things, the less chances for problems.  This is the reason we allow and encourage you to edit a page if you feel like helping us out and you see something that needs attention.
+==== The Community Maintains this User Manual ====
-If you would prefer, you can instead let us know about any problems you find in the user manual, by sending us an e-mail to <support@geodesicsolutions.com> and we will make any needed changes.
+I want to make it clear, that the majority of material found in this user manual is **original content created by Geo**.  Well, that used to be the case.  Now that unfortunately, Geodesic Solutions has gone out of business, it falls on the community to keep the wiki updated.
 ===== How Changes/Edits are Handled =====
-In order to preserve integrity, editing a page in the user manual requires registering a user in the wiki, then we will verify your license and activate the user.  The registration process will go something like this:

 If you abuse the edit button's powers in any way, we will be very sad :-( We'll also undo any malicious edits, and delete your Wiki account or possibly other actions as the situation warrants.
