Welcome to the STEP-Community Support Website! We have many relevant forums and a beta version of a unique wiki implementation that articulates to some extent with the forums. {{Fc|#E6B69E|The official STEP Guide now exists exclusively on the wiki}} and is always under active development. {{Fc|#E6B69E|The wiki will soon be open to the public}} (accept for functional pages relating to the STEP Guide), and this will facilitate more of a community-desighn approach to STEP (according to the STEP Mandate). Within the site, you will find many helpful resources voluntarily provided. Many of the questions that you may have will likely have already been answered by others. | Welcome to the STEP-Community Support Website!
