Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Offer from a thankful new user

[Nathan Aherne]

I have started a Getting started page with all of the things I would have liked 
to have had explained to me when I started.

http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Getting_Started

Its not even close to complete and I don't really have anywhere logical to link 
it. Maybe someone could choose a suitable location? I will continue to update 
it over the next week or so.

Kindest regards,
