[edit] Copyright

This Wiki and all of its contents are copyright [Uversa].

That means when you add to this Wiki, you are donating the copyright of the materials to Uversa.

It is published under a very generous license. Which means that you will always have the right to use what you and other users contribute here. Uversa collects the copyright and uses this license in order to retain publishing rights. The goal is that Uversa will be able to publish book versions of this documentation. Only Uversa has the right to do this.

Here is the license

There is only one limitation to the license, that Uversa has the right to "Commercial" use. The commercial use that we are concerned with is publishing a book version and selling it. You are welcome to print these yourself however and eventually we will provide tools to do that.

[edit] Good Posting

This wiki is intended to be used to generate printable documentation. We are planning on using some of the automatic wiki2dpf type tools available to automatically create guides, slicks and even books. However, that means that it is extrememly helpful when each wiki document is very large. For the time being it also helps if there are relatively few pictures, since those tools do not handle that well.

So when you want to add a screenshot, for instance, just be sure that it is not embedded inside of a large bunch of text.

In summary, write large wiki pages, and make image only pages for images.

Thanks, The Uversa Team
