__NOTOC__
'''First time visitors''' can start [[#Explore WikEmacs|exploring WikEmacs]]. We have added lots of useful pages since the launch of WikEmacs.

-----------
We need more '''[[:Category:WikEmacs Contributor|WikEmacs contributors]]'''.  You can help the following way.

{{Note| First of all, please take a minute to look at the
[[WikEmacs:Guidelines|WikEmacs guidelines]] before you start editing.}}

* Priority tasks
** Add content. Please adopt the following approach - ''I found this on the web which was helpful. But it took me a lot of time to find it. Now that I have found it, I will put it in WikEmacs so that others can benefit from it''. You can start by documenting Emacs' support of your favorite programming language. 
* Intermediate tasks
** Provide tutorials or content for the [[:Category:Popular Package|popular packages]] or [[:Category:Built-in Package|built-in packages]].
** Add more content to [[Special:ShortPages|short pages]].
** Document or add more [[:Category:Third Party Package|third party packages]].
* Other tasks
** Copy edit [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]] or be a moral police.
** Add more members to various [[Special:Categories|categories]].
** Categorize one of these pages [[Special:UncategorizedPages|uncategorized pages]].
** Follow the [http://wikemacs.org/api.php?hidebots=1&amp;days=7&amp;limit=50&amp;action=feedrecentchanges&amp;feedformat=atom RSS feed] to watch edits, new users and help fighting vandalism (fortunately quite low).

==Help build WikEmacs==

The following are suggestions for articles to write, along with the page of the GNU Emacs manual which documents this feature.  ('''Note:''' it's possible that an article for a given topic exists already under a different name.  In that case, please ensure that the article includes the link to the manual page, and then remove the topic from this list.)

&lt;!-- Not finished.  I grabbed ideas from large section titles of the manual, but there are many more in the "Detailed Node Listing", longer version of the table of contents. --&gt;
