Main Page
Welcome to the Gentoo wiki!
Larry the cow welcomes you to the Gentoo wiki.
Available documentation
To find information use the search box on the top right corner of the screen, or categorically browse the wiki using the Documentation topic links provided below.
Both official Gentoo project documentation as well as community-contributed content can be found here. The vast majority of documentation is publicly editable. Official documents have a Handbook: or Project: prefix (only developers can edit them). Community members can leave comments/feedback for these pages via their respective Discussion pages.
Find something to add or edit? The Getting started section (below) gives contributors a few pointers on how to start editing articles.
Most importantly, the Gentoo Handbook is among the best documents found on the wiki:

September 29, 2018: New Handbook edits now marked for translation
As of today, all pending edits in our Handbook namespace have been marked for translations. Handbook translators, we apologize for the delay in getting these pages marked. Over the next day or so other pending-for-translation edits for main namespace articles will be marked as well. The wiki project thanks you for your translation work!
Mailing list aliases and links to our public mailing list archives are now available on the wiki hosted Project boxes for Gentoo projects. Gentoo project leads should now update their projects with mailing list information. Project mailing list alias must match the official alias found in LDAP on Gentoo infrastructure. Visit #gentoo-wiki with any questions.
