▲Through this community Wiki we aim to share our knowledge of the [[About Cumulus|Cumulus]] Weather Station software. The Cumulus Wiki is intended to help you whichever build of Cumulus Software you are running. This Wiki was originated to document the (original) Cumulus software Steve Loft developed, and later modified to also cover other flavours (Cumulus 2 and MX beta) Steve Loft developed. Steve Loft deleted the material on Cumulus 2 when that was abandoned. The Wiki still retains content for the legacy flavours that are still available.
Mark Crossley took over development of '''Cumulus MX''' (3) functionality. This development now happens so fast, that this Wiki has been unable to document the moving target!
 
'''Are you willing to rewrite this Wiki to get it up to date, and make it more friendly for those who whose first encounter with Cumulus is a MX release? ''' The first step has been done, rewriting this page to promote MX over the legacy Cumulus. See the foot of this page for how you can contribute.▼
