<
> '''Hello!''' Welcome to the '''wxPy''''''Wiki''', (pronounced wix-pee-wi-kee) a collaborative document evolution system for the [[wxPython]] project, implemented using MoinMoin. Anyone can edit content here, you just have to follow TheRules or risk facing the RathOfRobin ;-) . To add or edit pages you will need to [[http://wiki.wxpython.org/FrontPage?action=login|create an account and/or login]], and you will need to be a member of the TrustedEditorsGroup. ''(Die spammers, die!)'' The purpose of the '''wxPy''''''Wiki''' is to provide documentation, examples, how-tos, etc. for helping people learn, understand and use [[wxPython]]. Anything that falls within those guidelines is fair game. ''Note: To get to the main wxPython site click [[http://www.wxpython.org|here]].'' There are several types of information available here. Currently they are: . '''Learning wxPython:''' * '''[[How to install wxPython|Installation]]''' -- How to install wxPython.
