GPE: Documentation

User Documentation

The following lists the user-oriented documentation for GPE we have so far. Most of the pages are stored in a Wiki - this means you can edit them, add content and correct errors. To do that, create a new account with the "User Preferences" link on the upper right corner, then use the "speech bubble" icon on the respective page to edit.

Some developer documentation and useful links can be found at the end of this page.
