====== Welcome to the SDF User Knowledge Base ======

This is a wiki containing shared member-contributed tutorials, help and tips for existing and potential [[:sdf|SDF]] users, focusing on the [[wp>Internet|INTERNET]], the [[wp>Unix|UNIX]] operating system, and programming languages. The purpose of this wiki is to help users share information about the [[http://sdf.org/ | SDF Public Access UNIX System]] and UNIX. 

Initially, this was a subset of the information from the //HTML((Something of a //html2docuwiki// dump of the traditional HTML tutorials exists [[https://git.sdf.org/peteyboy/tutes-dump/src/branch/master/dump|here]]. It was useful for [[:porting existing tutorials to the wiki|replicating content in this wiki]].))// tutorials at [[http://sdf.org/?tutorials|sdf.org → tutorials]].

It's expected that the <nowiki>SDF.org</nowiki> wiki content will grow and change. If you have SDF wiki access, please write additional tutorials, help and tips; migrate traditional tutorial content updates/changes; or port new and upcoming traditional tutorial content. Copies of the SDF traditional tutorial import //data ((Something of a //html2docuwiki// dump of the traditional HTML tutorials exists [[https://git.sdf.org/peteyboy/tutes-dump/src/branch/master/dump|here]]. It was useful for [[:porting existing tutorials to the wiki|replicating content in this wiki]].))// was kindly provided by contributing members of [[:sdf|SDF]].

====== Other Things ======
[[misc:start| misc: A wiki namespace for other things]] --have some non-tutorial, not-**about SDF** things to wikify? Here's a place for it.

====== Tutorial Wiki Playground ======
You can mess around on the wiki in the [[playground:playground| playground]] namespace, which is separate from and won't affect the main wiki. So if you want to practice before making changes to the wiki, go there and mess with it however you want (remember the wiki has version tracking, so even egregious changes can be undone rather quickly!)

One thing in the playground is an idea for a different front page: [[playground:a_cleaner_front_page_--_push_most_things_into_sub-menus|Playground Proposed Front Page: Welcome to SDF User Contributed Tutorials]], check it out and let folks know if you like it on the TUTORIALS board in [[bboard|bboard]]
