About This Site
Purpose•••To explain, to those interested, the underlying design philosophy for these Wiki
Help pages. The original, self imposed, objectives are:
• €Page content should be maintainable by any Weather Display forum user who has useful
material to add.
• €No assumptions should be made about the user's computer platform or the Web tools
available thereon. While the default for Weather Display is the Microsoft
®
Windows
operating system, other operating systems are supported. If your content is for Linux,
etc. denote that at the top of the content.
• €Graphics should be lightweight, or sized as small as possible, to reduce download times.
Remember, not everyone has a broadband connection.
• €Page appearance should be consistent from page to page.
• €Links to external Web sites, where appropriate, are encouraged.
Unlike a static Web page, Wiki's can be edited by anyone who registers. If you see an error,
or have content to add, you're encouraged to participate.
