The system is designed for all users (beginner upwards), so it is important we have simple, effective documentation. This is a great place to help! The documentation is written using Mallard (http://projectmallard.org/). Make sure you have the system installed and running. Installation instructions are [[Accomplishments/Installing|here]] Inside the `ubuntu-accomplishments-system` branch is a `help` directory. This is where you can find the different Mallard files.
