As my test site is going to be a community, we need somewhere to hang out and exchange views and ideas, the ideal place is a forum. I'll step through the setup.

The Composr documentation is user-driven:

  • If you have found documentation problems that you'd like someone else to solve log an issue to the tracker.
  • If you'd like to contribute a chunk of documentation to go into a tutorial, also log an issue to the tracker.
  • If you want to contribute a new tutorial you can submit a link.
