Welcome to the c:geo online user guide!
This site is currently under construction!
While we consider the user guide completed by now, we would like to get your feedback first. If you miss any information or see any incomplete or wrong descriptions, please provide us your feedback!
Once the completeness check is done, we will start with translating this guide to other languages. Also for this phase we will need contributors, who are willing to help us translating this guide into their mother language. If you are interested in helping us with that, just let us know.
