Welcome to TinyOS! This is the official TinyOS Documentation Wiki. Look here for how to get started, hardware overviews, and more detailed documentation of the TinyOS tree. Also, everyone is welcome to edit these pages and contribute TinyOS documentation. So please look around, get TinyOS running, and happy embedded programming!

'''Purpose of this Wiki Site:''' This site is part of a new effort (as of October 2007) to establish a single, common site for all TinyOS Documentation, akin to the Linux Documentation Project (but for TinyOS, of course). Right now, TinyOS documentation is scattered across many sites and is often poorly maintained. We hope that by using a Wiki - and making the site fairly open to edits from anyone - that it will be possible to create and ''maintain'' TinyOS documentation over a longer period of time.

So, you are encouraged to contribute documentation to this site simply by editing this page and adding a link to a new (empty) page. Come back and click on that link and start creating content for the new page. Don't worry too much about organization right now, since we can re-organize things later on if need be. If you are not familiar with the Wiki system, consult the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents User's Guide].
