The Openmoko Wiki is open. Everyone can join and edit its content. For doing this you will have to register. Join our wiki, edit the wiki, contribute valued content, and help others. For the full picture of Openmoko Wiki, please visit the Openmoko Wiki Official Index Page.

People usually start editing a wiki by fixing small things, like obvious grammar and style mistakes. Then some move to larger contributions, perhaps fixing a broken reference, adding a missing item in a list, or updating an outdated paragraph. Don't worry about being incomplete or about fine-tuning the language. Wiki means "fast" in Hawaïan, so if you have any information to share, go for it !
