 ====== Description ======
-Penguicon.info is the "back end" of the Penguicon planning process. You might call it the "behind the scenes" stuff. This is where we will coordinate all of our work, keep our notes, and hopefully keep track of our learning from year to year. To that end, we have information stored in namespaces for past penguicons (viewable from the //Index// button below) and our current stuff (which will soon be linked from here, or viewable from the //Index// button below.
+Penguicon.info is part of the "back end" of the Penguicon planning process. You might call it the "behind the scenes" stuff, in tandem with a variety of Google docs and a Google Sites page. This is where we coordinate the planning work, keep notes, and ideally keep track of our learning from year to year. To that end, we have information stored in namespaces for past penguicons (viewable from the [[http://penguicon.info/doku.php/start?do=index |Index]]) as well as our current stuff.

-  * First, make sure you read the [[wiki:syntax|Syntax Guide]]. Bookmark it. Cherish it. Refer to it often. Additionally, you can do an edit of a page that looks similar to what you are trying to accomplish and see how the editor of that page did it. If you just want to play around to see how things work, please, use the [[playground:playground]].
+  * First, the wiki [[wiki:syntax|Syntax Guide]].
+  * Second, test and play: look at the guts of other pages to see what's possible, or test things in the [[playground:playground]].  Remember, though, you can always revert bad changes.
   * If you think you need a new page created, please do the following first:
-    * See if the content that you wish to add wouldn't really be better served in an existing page. Having an entire page for a sentence or two is a messy way to collaborate. Remember, this is not an encyclopedia, but a method of working together.
