GUIDE FORUM THREAD
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. The official STEP Guide now exists exclusively on the wiki and is always under active development. 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.
We humans are composed of personalities that fall along a continuum of positive to negative, and fortunately, the majority tend to associate with the more positive pole of this continuum. Unfortunately, there is a minority that aligns with the more negative --not necessarily pessimistic, but more truly negative. While these individuals are not necessarily "bad" people, they can nonetheless be a damper to the rest, and like a wild yeast, can have a tendency to sour an otherwise perfectly good batch of home-brewed mead. This monologue and the guidelines that follow are intended for all, but necessitated by these less "enlightened" of us.
TheCompiler and the other STEP-Community site administrators ask that you, as a registered member of this site, participate and/or contribute in a manner of good spirit and common courtesy. Adherence to this simple ethos will head off any unpleasantness before they are manifest. Let the guidelines outlined herein serve as a reference for our members, so that the community may evolve to its maximum potential.
Help us foster an environment that leverages your enthusiasm within a culture of good humor ... and rigorous analysis!

Reference - Editing the Wiki
It is expected that any information added to this wiki is clearly cited where applicable, as many others do not appreciate unverifiable speculation unless it is plainly stated as such. That is, feel free to write what might or might not be fact, but qualify what is intended' to be factual.
Some of the information that may be found on this wiki is carefully written and with a particularly writing style (e.g., consistent tense and syntax; addressing the reader in the third person rather than directly). Please familiarize yourself with a given article's (i.e., page's) writing style before contributing so as to maintain consistency within the article. If there is a reason to alter the manner in which a page is written or laid out, please consult the original author(s) prior to making large changes.
HOWEVER, We want to facilitate community contributions, so we encourage this and provide a forum thread for discussions of wiki topics. The OP has a list of wanted & needed contributions, so feel free to jump in on that thread and get a feel for what is wanted and needed before diving in.
A wiki is simply an integrated assemblage of articles (i.e., pages) containing information that usually links to other wiki pages (i.e., articles). Every internal wiki link points to another page. If the link is blue, the page exists, and if it is orange, the page is referenced, but has not been created. Feel free to click on orange links and create the page by adding something relevant and saving.
