* The old Fine Offset stations have been documented in two pages linked from [[:Category:StationSpecific]], but there is minimal documentation for [Davis]] stations and [[Instromet]] stations, and no documentation yet for the newer Ecowitt devices, can you rectify this?

* There is no documentation yet for the newer Ecowitt devices, can you rectify this?
* This Wiki documents the legacy Cumulus 1 in good detail due to many different contributors
* 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)
* <big>The MX of today, thanks to Mark Crossley leading development (with small contributions from others), is totally different from that early MX beta; do you use/understand any of the new functionality (not documented for legacy software) meaning you can document it for those new to that functionality?</big>
