Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * You should sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * If you're a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
 * If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI to bring the material over in compliance with the GFDL.
 * If you're an instructor and plan on using wikibooks for a class project, see Guidelines for class projects
 * Please say hello at the Staff Lounge with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Please take a look at Naming policy before starting a new book.
 * Remember to maintain a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Staff lounge, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be an idea if you add this page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there.

I'm nosy!
Hi Peter - I checked out the wiki link and spotted the interest. As far as I can see I think it would be a very good idea indeed. There are one or two books on active pursuits but I don't think any of them are very active at present. Take a look around and get a feel for the place too - it is not like Wikipedia in many ways. Far smaller community for a start. If you have some content of WP it can be transwiki'd to preserve what there is (again check around the links). Certainly one issue is you will find far less wiki links here (I started placing them when I got here and had it pointed out to me!).

If I can help let me know otherwise the Staff lounge is a good place for general queries. The book sounds good - cheers -- Herby talk thyme 10:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
