Purpose   To explain, to those interested, the underlying design philosophy for these Wiki Help pages. The original, self imposed, objectives are:

  • Page content should be maintainable by any Weather Display forum user who has useful material to add.
  • No assumptions should be made about the user's computer platform or the Web tools available thereon. While the default for Weather Display is the Microsoft&reg Windows operating system, other operating systems are supported. If your content is for Linux, etc. denote that at the top of the content.
  • Graphics should be lightweight, or sized as small as possible, to reduce download times. Remember, not everyone has a broadband connection.
  • Page appearance should be consistent from page to page.
  • Links to external Web sites, where appropriate, are encouraged.

Unlike a static Web page, Wiki's can be editing by anyone who registers. If you see an error, or have content to add, you're encouraged to participate.
