At that stage, Cumulus 1 was still recommended for most users, because MX was experimental and it had limited functionality. Now that further development is adding lots more functionality into MX, this is the Cumulus flavour that most users will select to install and run. However, whether you have used Cumulus 1 in the past, or are new to Cumulus, there are no instructions built into the MX package, so it is hoped that the update of this article will help people to understand MX sufficiently to use it both more easily and to maximum capability. | At that stage, Cumulus 1 was still recommended for most users, because MX was experimental and it had limited functionality.

If you visit this page again, you may find more has been added since your last visit, I am adding more as I explore more of the functionality of MX; and as I learn more from posts in the forum. If you can correct anything I write, add anything I have not yet covered, or know something that I might not know, then please remember, anyone can update this article, I don't have any special access in the Wiki and any page I edit can be edited/corrected by anyone else. During a period of my time in employment I was responsible for approving documentation on a large computerisation project, and later for supplying updated information for a public faced web site, and in both cases there were house style, so I may be using a style not the same as your natural one. But as long as you use short paragraphs or bullet points, with lots of headings, then your contribution can blend in. | |||
