Our customary primary project wiki resides here: Xastir Home Page
Unfortunately, the primary wiki at xastir.org has been experiencing frequent technical difficulties lately and may show an "Internal Error" page saying the database server is unreachable, or worse, that the entire site is unreachable. Work is being done to get it back to normal.
However, even when it's running fine, it has become hard to maintain and much of the information there is out of date.
To address both issues we're trying to get useful information up on this Github wiki to document Xastir going forward.
The most important documents for a new user that we currently have available here are:
- Major Features of Xastir
- Installing Xastir
- Operating Xastir
- Xastir Mapping Overview
- Contributing your effort to the project
Other pages may be visited using the sidebar on the right.
We will be expanding this wiki as quickly as we can, but it's definitely a work in progress.
