h1. Purpose
This wiki provides documentation and usage tips for users of Sun Java Communications Suite. The initial content is provided by members of the Communications Suite product team, including Publications, Marketing, Development, QA, Sustaining, and Field Services. All material posted here is available to everyone, and anyone who registers and wants to take the time to contribute may do so.
Beginning with the Sun Java Communications Suite 6 release, all new Communications Suite information will be delivered by this wiki. Information for previous releases is available on [docs.sun.com|http://docs.sun.com], and in many situations, is still applicable to managing your Communications Suite deployment. Going forward, this wiki is considered the authorative source in case of conflicting information.
You are welcome to contribute by using the Comments feature, improving existing information, or adding new information, so long as the material is relevant to an appropriate standard. You do not need to fear accidentally damaging the content when you add or improve information, as material that is added will be reviewed and, if necessary, corrected or deleted.
Delivering product information by wiki is fundamentally different from delivering information on [docs.sun.com|http://docs.sun.com]. Here are some important differences:
* While we are attempting to organize information by using a book model when appropriate (for example, Installation Guide, Upgrade Guide, Administration Guide), a wiki does not naturally lend itself well to the book model. Wiki books are actually collections of related articles, which are linked from a main article or top-level page.
* Currently, you can print wiki pages as PDF files, but you cannot obtain a book-like PDF file of a collection of wiki pages. Also, no page numbers appear on wiki pages.
*Update:* Use the [Printable Communications Suite Documentation] to download or print book-like PDF files.
* To find information on the wiki, use the wiki Search mechanism or the wiki Labels feature.
* Articles are always works-in-progress. Articles that are still being written by the subject-matter experts or that have not been reviewed by relevant Sun reviewers are stamped with "Work-in-progress." When an adequate review is completed, we will remove this designation. But note that this page can be edited and changed as new information, corrections, or ideas occur.
h2. The Living Wiki, Snapshots, and Updates to Snapshots
This wiki is a "living wiki" in the sense that it attempts to keep the information as current as possible, and as such, is not release-specific, unless noted. For release-specific information, use a wiki snapshot, for example [Communications Suite 6 RR Snapshot|CommSuite6RR072208:Sun Java Communications Suite Information]. In the event that a snapshot needs to be updated (that is, omitted information needs to be included in a release), refer to [Updates to Snapshots of Previous Comms Suite Releases].
