		+	==Guidelines For Posting==
		+
		+	The purpose of this wiki is to share knowledge with others.
		+
		+	* Please limit your posts to subjects related to GNU/Linux and open source computing. We have a broad and liberal interpretation of what is acceptable, but we do not tolerate spam. If you represent an open source commercial product there must be some benefit to our readers that goes beyond a pitch for a product or service. If in doubt please contact Brian at sfvlug dot org or bring it up for discussion at a membership meeting first.
		+
		+	* Lively debate is encouraged, flame wars are not. Please be civil in all your postings. If don't know if what you intend to post would be considered to be civil by a reasonable person it is probably better not to post.
		+
		+	* While there is an established structure to the wiki we encourage creativity as long as it serves a purpose. Please don't destroy someone else's work and replace it with your own.
		+
		+	* As long as it is not offensive to a reasonable person and otherwise follows these guidelines you can create just about anything you like in you own personal space. Please be considerate of others when editing in the common areas.
		+
		+	* Have fun!
