The Fedora Project wiki is a place for end users and developers to collaborate. You can find more information or add some yourself. Write access to the wiki is limited to those who have [[Account_System | Fedora accounts]]; however, it is not hard to get one!  To join the wiki, [[Account_System/NewAccount | follow these instructions]].

This space is primarily used as a '''collaboration tool for our contributor community''' — developers, packagers, designers, writers, translators, quality assurance, and so on.

This space is primarily used as a collaboration tool for our contributor community — developers, packagers, designers, writers, translators, quality assurance, and so on.

This Wiki

Wikis can be many things — encyclopedias, workspaces, whiteboards, and more. While many great docs sites are built from wikis, we've discovered that mixing all of those things together really causes chaos. Our documentation resides on its own site and this wiki is strictly a contributor workspace.

If you're a Fedora user, you're welcome to browse around — see the subprojects menu at the top for some places to start.

Note that you'll need a Fedora account and to be in at least one Fedora subproject group on that account to make wiki edits.
