Project:Wiki

Goals
The goal of the Gentoo Wiki is to become the best Linux-related resource on the web. This goal is impossible without contributions from the Gentoo community. Using MediaWiki software the Gentoo community can now help improve documentation as quickly and easily as clicking the button.

Happy improvements!
