====== DUNE MUD WIKI ======
===== Welcome =====

Welcome to the new and improved Dune MUD Website. We're currently in the process of establishing a new community driven Wiki (you're looking at it!). If you have any suggestions or comments related to the wiki, [[wiki:suggestions|please let us know]]. Try to sign your suggestions so we know who to talk to for more information.

Please read and understand the text on this front page, register yourself an account (try to use your main Dune character for your username), and jump in.

You may connect to Dune now, using telnet - **[[telnet://dune.servint.com:6789|dune.servint.com, port 6789]]** - or **[[http://dune.servint.com/playdune|FMud]]** Flash mud client.

You might also want to check out our **[[http://www.twitter.com/DuneMUD|{{http://twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com/twitter-c.png}}]] Feed**.

If you haven't already, please also consider **[[http://www.topmudsites.com/vote-iolai.html|Voting for Dune]]** on TopMudSites. [[promoting|Promoting]] Dune is beneficial to everyone.

Also take a second to **[[http://www.mudconnect.com/mud-bin/vote_rank.cgi?mud=Dune|Vote for Dune]]** on the Mud Connector.  It requires a simple registration, but is totally free...\\       
-- We have a review posted on the Mud Connector that reflects us in a rather negative light, would anyone like to post a nicer one?  --- //[[players:orbital|orbital]] 2010/04/08 15:49//

==== A note about Hotmail ====
There seems to be some issue with registration e-mails not being sent to **hotmail** addresses. Until we can sort that out, if you register for an account either use a non-hotmail e-mail address or contact an Administrator in-game to set your password manually.  --- //[[players:paradox|paradox]] 2010/04/05 23:37//

==== Wiki Rules ====

Please make sure you review the [[wiki:rules|wiki guidelines and rules]]

===== TODO =====
There are a few areas I'd appreciate player help first and foremost:
  - **The [[guilds:guildlist|guilds]] page needs work.** The [[guilds:bgw:main|BGW]], [[guilds:atreides:main|Atreides]], and [[guilds:fremen:main|Fremen]] guilds have been busy, if you're active in another guild try to model some content after what has been done there. Ghelp files on the wiki have the advantage that you can annotate them in discussion pages with tips/tricks/clarifications.
  - [[universe:overview|Dune Universe]] Info. It's bare bones.
  - <del>Converting help NEWBIE to add to the getting started section needs completing</del> -Done
  - <del>Convert help files to wiki pages in [[help:overview|Help Files]]. You can find the raw help files to [[http://dune.servint.com/docs.zip|download here]]. Use a text editor that can handle Unix files like [[http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm|Notepad++]]</del>. **Mostly complete. Feel free to add any you find missing. Thanks to [[players:luther|Luther]]!**
