<big>'''Welcome to the Cumulus Wiki | <big>'''Welcome to the Cumulus Wiki'''</big>, the community Wiki is for sharing knowledge of the [[About Cumulus|Cumulus]] Weather Station software. [[CumulusWiki:About|This Wiki]] was originated to document the (original) Cumulus software Steve Loft developed, and later modified to also cover other flavours (Cumulus 2 and MX beta) Steve Loft developed. Steve Loft deleted the material on Cumulus 2 when that was abandoned. The Wiki retains content for the legacy original Cumulus software that people still use. | ||
This copy of the original Cumulus Wiki was cloned on 26-Oct-2018, just before Steve Loft ended his association with Cumulus, and all user credentials from the deleted original Wiki hosted by sandaysoft.com should be valid here. At that time, [[Cumulus_3_(MX)_beta_documentation|Steve's MX beta]] had limited functionality, and its documentation was sparse. | |||

*'''Are you willing to help us rewrite this Wiki to document MX'''? | |||
*MX has been evolving rapidly since Mark Crossley started leading development (with small contributions from others), ''so there is much more to document''. | |||
*In particular, '''can you help make it more friendly for those whose first encounter with Cumulus is a MX release? ''' | |||
*The first step has been done, rewriting this page to promote MX over the legacy Cumulus; but many other pages are still largely as they were created decades ago. | |||
#As a starting point, we suggest you read [[Help:Contents/Editing|How to Edit]], | |||
#*that is full of hints on how to write Wiki pages, | |||
#*including Cumulus Wiki specific help. | |||
#If you | |||
#*want a suggestion to start you off ... | |||
#*or want to make a suggestion ... | |||
#** ... [[How_you_can_contribute]] is where '''what needs doing''' is listed | |||
#If you see a warning about a page, or section, being '''out of date''', can you help document how MX has changed? | |||
#If a page uses '''<nowiki>{{Template:WorkInProgressBanner}}</nowiki>''', then can you help to finish off that documentation? | |||
</div> | |||
*If you plan on '''CONTRIBUTING''' to the Wiki, then you will need a userid. | |||
**Please use the [[Special:RequestAccount|Request Account]] form to apply for a userid (you may have to wait some time for a response), or | |||
**If you already have a userid, then just [[Special:UserLogin|Login here]] (link also available on top right of any page). | |||
'''''When requesting a Wiki account, it would be helpful if you can use the same user name as on the Cumulus forum (but use a different password!), it makes it easier for the admins to identify genuine account requests from spammers.''''' |
