	* Steve Loft, and Mark Crossley, (plus others), modified some legacy pages to also cover the original [[Cumulus_3_(MX)_beta_documentation\| MX 3.0.0 beta]], but that had very limited functionality (just a subset of that available in Cumulus 1) and only 2 new pages were added.

	* Most pages that are specific to legacy Cumulus 1 have been locked, to prevent editing for MX differences and to ensure they are preserved for those still using the legacy software (all pages relating to Cumulus 2 were removed by Steve Loft)
