The conversion process is done!

The categorization of Misc pages is also done.

Now, what we need help with is the Restructuring.

What else can I do?

Well, you can always make NEW pages. :-) You can also help us search out pages containing the "r" word. (rooting) and edit them to refer to "accessing Linux".

Also, if you see badly named pages, please contact a sysop to rename them. (rboatright or Templarian or add it to the Admin Changes page and it will be corrected shortly)

Just post to their user page.

Where Things Go Covers the Naming Scheme

and of course, if you find a page in the wrong place, please move it. But be careful to check "what links here" and fix all the things that link "here."

Happy wiki-ing.
