Dear community,
If you are an user of Elastix you may want Elastix to have the best documentation possible. Elastix Without Tears written by Ben Sharif does a great job and is must read it if you want to have successful installations of Elastix, but it does not cover everything you can do with Elastix.
Elastix has a wiki with several how-tos, user manual, developer manual and several other useful documentation. Help is needed from the community to have this documentation up to date. A wiki is a great tool to maintain documentation because it could be edited by anyone so those who wants to contribute are welcome to do it. Nothing is erase on a wiki so you could always go back to a previous version of an specific article. Our wiki works very similar to the way Wikipedia does.
Update the documentation: There are several articles that were wrote long time ago and need to be updated. Just edit those articles and make them work with Elastix latest version. If you get to a how to that does not work and don't know how to fix it please edit the article and add a note explaining the error to help the community fix it.
Translate documentation to your language: Elastix is translated to 21 languages and documentation should get close to this number. The wiki is organized to be translated and we have some articles en Spanish, Greek, Persian and Italian.
Keep track of the wiki changes: 99% of people writing on the wiki are doing by people who wants to help. There is that 1% that would do negative changes to the wiki. Our wiki has two easy ways to track changes through the recent changes link or by rss feeds . If some one does something bad to the wiki we could fix it just by restoring a previous version of the article.
Learn the Syntax: Elastix wiki uses Dokuwiki that has an easy syntax that could be learn throw this article . Learning how to use the documentation is helpful to have an easy to read documentation.
About wiki documentation license: All the wiki documentation you would contribute would be license under the GNU Free Documentation License that is something pretty similar to the GPL but for documentation. The idea is to have free documentation so that everyone can benefit from it.
Dear community help us improve Elastix projects and have a great documentation.
