<big>'''Welcome to the Cumulus Wiki'''</big>, this community Wiki is for sharing knowledge of the [[About Cumulus|Cumulus]] Weather Station software. [[CumulusWiki:About|This Wiki]] was originated to document the (original) Cumulus (1) software Steve Loft developed. ''The vast majority of the original content used Steve's own words, and he was a key contributor.''
The current maintained and supported version of the software is known as Cumulus MX. There is limited support available for the legacy Cumulus 1 software and- any remaining legacy users are encouraged to [[Migrating from Cumulus 1 to MX| Migratemigrate from Cumulus 1]] to the vastly different Cumulus MX. A number of developers are contributing to MX, but the bigbulk transformationof (fromthe Steve's original)development has been almost entirely developeddone by Mark Crossley. ▼
Other contributors reviewed what Steve said in answers in the support forum, and collated that material into pages in this Wiki, so Steve's knowledge could be shared more systematically. When Steve Loft developed other flavours, the content here also covered those. This Wiki retains content for the legacy original Cumulus software that people still use, some of that legacy content has been locked against further editing. Steve Loft deleted the material on Cumulus 2 when he abandoned that development, but his [[Cumulus 3 (MX) beta documentation|MX 3.0.0 beta]] documentation remains. This copy of the original Cumulus Wiki was cloned on 26-Oct-2018, just before Steve Loft ended his association with Cumulus, and all user credentials from the deleted original Wiki hosted by ''sandaysoft.com'' should be valid here.
