This is where contributors help turn this wiki into a clear, shared record of how PlexyDesk works.

The goal is simple: keep the documentation close to the real system. That includes the code, the runtime behaviour, the visible desktop, and the interfaces exposed to applications and tools. The wiki should be useful both to people actively working on PlexyDesk and to readers who are trying to understand it from the outside.

== How people can contribute ==
There are many useful ways to contribute:
* improve architecture, component, and API pages as behaviour becomes clearer
* add diagrams, screenshots, and short demo media that show how PlexyDesk behaves at runtime
* update source-oriented pages when code structure or exposed interfaces change
* use article talk pages to point out missing details, unclear wording, or technical mistakes
* help connect related pages so the documentation is easier to follow

Not every contribution needs to be large. Small fixes, clearer wording, better screenshots, and accurate cross links / refs all make the wiki more useful over time.

== Media contributions ==
Visual material is an important part of documenting PlexyDesk. Screenshots, diagrams, and short demo captures can often explain behavior more quickly than text alone.

Useful pages:
* [[Gallery]] is the main index for screenshots and short demo captures
* [[Desktop Submissions]] explains how to prepare, upload, and list desktop screenshots
* [[Special:Upload]] is the upload page for image and video files

When uploading media, it helps to:
* choose filenames that describe what the media shows
* write short captions that explain the behavior or feature being documented
* prefer real runtime captures over promotional material
* include version, hardware, or environment details when they are relevant

== Useful pages ==
A few pages are especially helpful when navigating the wiki:
* [[Documentation]] for the main documentation map
* [[Special:RecentChanges]] for a live view of current edits
* [[Special:AllPages]] for the full page index
* [[News]] for milestone summaries and documentation updates

== Writing style and content conventions ==
This wiki should stay practical and technically grounded.

Pages should:
* use clear technical language
* avoid marketing claims
* describe behavior that is implemented, observable, or directly supported by the codebase
* clearly mark planned or experimental ideas instead of presenting them as finished behavior
* stay specific enough to be useful to both contributors and readers

Captions, summaries, and page text should explain things as plainly and accurately as possible. A good page does not just name a feature; it helps the reader understand what it does, where it fits, and how it behaves.

== Talk pages and discussion ==
Talk pages are there to make pages better. They can be used to:
* question wording that feels unclear or misleading
* point out missing information
* discuss technical accuracy
* suggest better structure or linking

As PlexyDesk evolves, the wiki should evolve with it. Keeping pages current is part of the work, and even small updates help preserve a useful technical record.
