▲'''Welcome to the Cumulus Wiki''', this community Wiki is for sharing knowledge of the [[About Cumulus|Cumulus]] Weather Station software.
 
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 - any remaining users are encouraged to [[Migrating from Cumulus 1 to MX|migrate from Cumulus 1]] to Cumulus MX. A number of developers are contributing to MX, but the bulk of the development has been done by Mark Crossley.

*'''Are you willing to contribute to this Wiki's documentation?'''
* Are you new to Cumulus MX? If so, you are the best possible person to know what newcomers need in this Wiki. You also know what you have discovered, and can document it to be useful for others.
#<big>As a starting point, we suggest you read [[Help:Contents/Editing|How to Edit]],</big>
#*that is full of hints on how to write Wiki pages,
#*including Cumulus Wiki specific help.
#** ... [[How_you_can_contribute]] is the page you should go to, its content should be updated when work done, or suggestions need to be recorded.

In the future, anyone will be able to edit the biggestnew, changesand amended, "category" pages, those are now the entry points grouping the rest of the documentation in werethis Wiki.

*# The pages specific to MX and specific to legacy software are now in separate columns
*# This main page does provide direct links to key pages that are unlikely to be renamed/removed, but administrators have limited time to edit such links.
* There is no documentation yet for the newer Ecowitt devices, can you rectify this?
* This Wiki documents the legacy Cumulus 1 in good detail due to many different contributors

* Steve Loft, and Mark Crossley, (plus others), modified some legacy pages to also cover the original [[Cumulus_3_(MX)_beta_documentation| MX 3.0.0 beta]], but that had very limited functionality (just a subset of that available in Cumulus 1) and only 2 new pages were added.
#* MX offers so much functionality, that nobody uses everything MX can do. Some pages use the '''<nowiki>{{Template:WorkInProgressBanner}}</nowiki>''' to indicate other contributors are needed to expand the current content▼
* Most pages that are specific to legacy Cumulus 1 have been locked, to prevent editing for MX differences and to ensure they are preserved for those still using the legacy software (all pages relating to Cumulus 2 were removed by Steve Loft)
* <big>The MX of today, thanks to Mark Crossley leading development (with small contributions from others), is totally different from that early MX beta; do you use/understand any of the new functionality (not documented for legacy software) meaning you can document it for those new to that functionality?</big>
