| - | This Wiki is an attempt to document the extensive JMRI suite. We're hoping to utilize the power inherent in the Wiki approach to get it done by the JMRI community at large. We've already had some great contributions from a few dedicated souls!

| - | The JMRI project is aimed at building tools to help the model railroader employ computers to assist in using and running their layouts. We want it to be usable to as many people as possible, so we're building it in Java, which allows it to run on nearly any operating system and a wide range of hardware.

| - | Firstly, JMRI (''Java Model Railroad Interface'') is free and open-source software, but there are some restrictions. Generally, you have to give us credit if you use all or part of it to build your own software.
