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.

November 29, 2018: Christmas is coming early this year!
Christmas is coming a little early this year for the wiki! Gentoo's wiki team is excited to announce updates to your favorite knowledge base are in the works! We anticipate quite a few of the existing issues across the site will be resolved, however with any software updates new issues will almost certainly surface.
New to the wiki project is Brian Evans (Grknight) - who, although recently joining the project, has spear-headed the update process. If you see him around be sure to thank him! We'll be keeping a lookout for new issues created by the upgrade and will provide another brief update across the wiki and our our status site before we pull the trigger. More news to come!
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!
