<big>'''Welcome to the Cumulus Wiki'''</big>, thethis 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 laterhe modifiedwas toa alsokey covercontributor. otherOther flavourscontributors (Cumulusreviewed 2what Steve said in answers in the support forum, and MXcollated beta)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. Steve Loft deleted the material on Cumulus 2 when that was abandoned., The Wiki retains content forbut the legacy[[Cumulus original3 Cumulus(MX) softwarebeta thatdocumentation|MX people3.0.0 beta]] stilldocumentation useremains.
 
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. At that time, [[Cumulus_3_(MX)_beta_documentation|Steve's MX beta]] had limited functionality, and its documentation was sparse.▼

▲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. At that time, [[Cumulus_3_(MX)_beta_documentation|Steve's MX beta]] had limited functionality, and its documentation was sparse.
 
This Wiki retains content for the legacy original Cumulus software that people still use, although they are encouraged to [[Migrating from Cumulus 1 to MX|Migrate from Cumulus 1]] to the vastly different Cumulus MX developed by Mark Crossley (from Steve's original). Please see the bottom of this page for how you can contribute to this Wiki.
 
Brian Underdown (weather34) has allowed us to host his [[HomeWeatherStationTemplate|Home Weather Station template for Cumulus]] on the Wiki.

*'''Are you willing to helpcontribute us rewriteto this Wiki's to document MXdocumentation?'''?
* The old Fine Offset stations have been documented in [[:Category:StationSpecific]], but there is no documentation for Davis or Ecowitt, can you rectify this?
*MX has been evolving rapidly since Mark Crossley started leading development (with small contributions from others), ''so there is much more to document''.
* This Wiki documents the legacy Cumulus 1 in good detail due to many different contributors
*In particular, '''can you help make it more friendly for those whose first encounter with Cumulus is a MX release? '''
* Steve Loft, and others, modified some pages to also cover his [[Cumulus_3_(MX)_beta_documentation| MX 3.0.0 beta]], but that had very limited functionality and so little extra was needed
*The first step has been done, rewriting this page to promote MX over the legacy Cumulus; but many other pages are still largely as they were created decades ago.
* The MX of today, thanks to Mark Crossley leading development (with small contributions from others) is totally different from that early MX; can you contribute on any aspect of any of the new functionality?
* 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.
* This page has been rewritten to provide a better way into all of this Wiki, but only administrators can update this page
* The "category" pages have been rewritten to be better ways into specific parts of the documentation, you can edit any of those.
 
 
#As a starting point, we suggest you read [[Help:Contents/Editing|How to Edit]],
#*or want to make a suggestion ...
#** ... [[How_you_can_contribute]] is where '''what needs doing''' is listed
# MX has changed dramatically, therefore some of the early MX documentation has been deleted, and some pages make it clear that they apply to an earlier MX release.
#If you see a warning about a page, or section, being '''out of date''', can you help document how MX has changed?
#If aMX pageoffers so much functionality, that nobody uses everything MX can do. Some pages use the '''<nowiki>{{Template:WorkInProgressBanner}}</nowiki>''', thento canindicate youother helpcontributors are needed to finishexpand offthe thatcurrent documentation?content
