== Using This Wiki ==

The Wiki is structured as follows:

|(((

**[[doc:Overview]]**

The overview section gives you an idea of how KIELER is structured and what parts there are. KIELER has grown quite big, so reading through the overview will help a great deal in finding your bearings around here.

23

**The Different Components of KIELER**

24

We have taken care to divide KIELER into several components, which in turn are divided into several projects. This makes the KIELER project a litlte easier to understand, we hope.

**[[doc:Development]]**

28

The development section has our guides on how to start as a new KIELER developer (the [[doc:Guidelines]] are of particular interest; go read them!), some more guidelines and generally acts as a documentation of our daily work, including [[doc:Meetings]].

**[[doc:Processes]]**

The processes section contains documentation about the processes we use to manage KIELER.

We use the Wiki to document the project, its different components, the processes we use to manage it, and whatever else needs documenting. As a KIELER developer, please feel free to add content to the Wiki. If you're unsure about where to add the content to, just ask one of the senior developers – they'll be happy to help.
