			* If you contribute a new page, add it to this category by quoting '''<nowiki>[[Category:Cumulus MX]]</nowiki>''' on your new page.
		⚫	* '''[[Compare C1 and MX\|Comparing legacy original Cumulus with MX]]''' and ''[[Migrating_from_Cumulus_1_to_MX\|How to migrate to MX]]'' - If you are still using the original Cumulus software; these two links should help you decide whether to migrate to MX, and how to do it.

		⚫	SOME KEY INFORMATIVE PAGES (FOR NOVICES):
	Every page, linked from this page, was written in the past, newer MX releases may therefore require these pages to be updated, can you help to do that? You will see messages on various pages warning that they are out of date, and asking for your help to add content under some headings.
		⚫	* [[What to do when I have a problem with MX]] - read this before you seek advice in the Cumulus Support Forum
			* [[Raspberry_Pi_Image\|Setting up Raspberry Pi using a pre-built Image]] - install MX on a Raspberry Pi computer, (with all access to the Pi done from another computer on same network).
		⚫	* [[MX_on_Linux\|MX on Linux]] - MX is really easy to install, and run, on any simple computer running any UNIX derivative
		⚫	* [[MX_on_Windows_OS\|MX on Windows Op Sys]] - you can install MX on a Windows PC, or laptop
			* [[Updating MX to new version\|How to upgrade to new MX release]] - comprehensive guide
		⚫	* [[MX Administrative Interface\|Administrative Interface]]- all about the pages used for settings, correcting log files, and viewing your weather derivatives locally
			* [[Cumulus.ini]] - comprehensive guide to settings and configuration file
			* [[Samplestring.ini]] - configuration samples for customisations
			* [[:Category:Ini Files]] for all pages that deal with the files storing highs and lows

			SPECIALIST GUIDES (NOT FOR NOVICES):
	As a starting point, we suggest you read [[Help:Contents/Editing\|How to Edit]] which was written specifically for this Wiki. [[How_you_can_contribute]] is full of suggestions on where your help would be appreciated.
			* [[:Category:JSON Files]] for all pages dealing with files used to get data to your web site
			* [[Webtags/Parameters]] - see this page if you want to vary how data appears on web pages
		⚫	* [[Cumulus_MX_Local_API\|MX application programming local interface]] - the developer explains how data is made available for local interfaces
		⚫	* [[MX Basic info]] - contains details like the library functions used by MX, and how the end of day process works.
			* [[Cs Code Modules]] - quick guide to the components compiled up to make the MX executable

			PAGES THAT WERE CREATED FOR MX BETA:
	'''Are you willing to help us rewrite this Wiki to document MX''', as that has been evolving rapidly since Mark Crossley took over development, so there is still lots to document. In particular, '''can you help make it more friendly for those whose first encounter with Cumulus is a MX release? '''
			These were created in a rush when there was a threat that the support forum would close, they need a willing contributor to sort them into useful pages:
	*If you plan on '''CONTRIBUTING''' to the Wiki, then you will need a userid.
			* [[MX Issues]] Detailed known issues with 3.0.0 beta releases
	**Please use the [[Special:RequestAccount\|Request Account]] form to apply for a userid (you may have to wait some time for a response), or
			* [[Cumulus MX FAQ]] Was intended to be quick reference answers to frequent questions
	**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.'''''

	*[[Raspberry_Pi_Image\|Setting up Raspberry Pi using a pre-built Image]] - for those tempted to install MX on a Raspberry Pi, operating in headless mode (instead of connecting a screen and keyboard to it, you do all access to the Pi from another computer on same network). The developer has made life easy for you by combining the '''Raspberry Pi Lite Operating System''' with a pre-installation copy of MX.
	* [[Raspberry Pi computer page]] A Raspberry Pi computer (and similar devices from other manufacturers) is much simpler than a normal computer, but it can still run various operating systems that allow you to use it perhaps for both running MX and a web server
⚫	* [[MX_on_Linux\|MX on Linux]] - really easy to install, and run, MX on any simple computer running ~~Linux~~ ~~or a~~ derivative~~, this page tells you all you need to know~~

	==Cross reference to [[MX Basic info]] page==

⚫	~~The~~ ~~page~~ ~~linked~~ in ~~the~~ ~~heading~~ contains details like the library functions used by MX, and how the end of day process works.

⚫	~~== Cross reference to pages on~~ [[Compare C1 and MX\|Comparing legacy original Cumulus with MX]] and [[Migrating_from_Cumulus_1_to_MX\|How to migrate]] ==

	If you are still using the original Cumulus software; the articles linked in the heading should help you decide whether to migrate to MX, and how to do it.

	== Cross-reference to [[What to do when I have a problem with MX]] ==

	Although you may end up asking for advice on the Cumulus Support Forum, read the article linked in the heading first, as it will help you to provide the information that is needed for others to quickly help you.

	== Cross reference to page on [[Raspberry_Pi_Image\|Setting up Raspberry Pi using a pre-built Image]] for Cumulus ==

⚫	~~You~~ ~~may~~ be tempted to install MX on a Raspberry Pi, operating in headless mode (instead of connecting a screen and keyboard to it, you do all access to the Pi from another computer on same network). The developer has made life easy for you by combining the '''Raspberry Pi Lite Operating System''' with a pre-installation copy of MX~~. Find out more about using this pre-built Raspberry Pi image file to create a basic headless server in the article linked in the heading~~.

	== Cross reference to page on [[Setting up Raspberry Pi\|Running MX on Linux]] for Cumulus ==

⚫	~~Whether~~ ~~you~~ ~~have~~ ~~been~~ ~~using Cumulus 1, or are new to Cumulus, you may be tempted to install~~ MX on a ~~Raspberry Pi.~~ A Raspberry Pi computer (and similar devices from other manufacturers) is much simpler than a normal computer, but it can still run various operating systems that allow you to use it perhaps for both running MX and a web server. ~~Find out more in the article linked in the heading.~~

⚫	~~Whether~~ ~~you~~ ~~have~~ ~~been~~ ~~using Cumulus 1, or are new to Cumulus,~~ you may be tempted to install MX on a Windows PC, laptop, or similar computer

	== Cross reference to page on [[Updating MX to new version]] ==

	Whether you have not updated for a long time, or simply wonder whether you are updating the easiest way, follow the link in the heading for this section, to an article that contains advice '''both''' for those updating each time there is a new release available '''and''' how to upgrade from an old version in a series of steps, skipping some in-between versions. So read the article linked in the section heading whether you are still using Steve Loft's beta version of MX or an old Mark Crossley release.

	== Cross reference to [[Cumulus MX FAQ]] ==

⚫	A new FAQ for MX has been started at [[Cumulus_MX_FAQ\|another page]]. As I add the link here, the Cumulus MX FAQ is in a mess, but hopefully someone will have time to sort it out.

	== Cross reference to [[MX Issues]] ==

⚫	~~The [~~[MX Issues\|Cumulus MX Known Issues]] article was based on [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=12943 Steve Loft's forum post] so based on an early beta version of MX, and there has been minimal attempt to update the contents as MX has been developed further and come out of the original beta. <big>Anyone willing to check the linked article and do a further update?</big>

	== Cross reference to page on [[MX Administrative Interface\|Administrative Interface]] ==

			'''Are you willing to help us rewrite this Wiki to document MX''', as that has been evolving rapidly since Mark Crossley took over development, so there is still lots to document. In particular, '''can you help make it more friendly for those whose first encounter with Cumulus is a MX release? '''
	This requires a whole page to itself, reached from link in heading for this section.
			*If you plan on '''CONTRIBUTING''' to the Wiki, then you will need a userid.
