If you look for places where to start, why not look around for ''red links'' (here is a [[Special:WantedPages|list of most wanted pages]]), for pages [[:Category:Page with at least one "To Do" marker|with "TODO" markers]] or [[:Category:Pages with at least one unknown fact to fill in|with missing facts]]. This would be wonderful contributions to start with.
You can find the main navigation menu on the left. This menu is expected to grow along with the material in this site. So far, there is base documentation about some aspects of [[Hardware]], [[Software]] and [[Applications]].

This wiki shall contain all documentation of the computer, but also user-generated content by the community. Contributions are welcome and much appreciated! There is no prescribed structure and you can just start adding your content wherever you like. A decent amount of moderation is applied by the active users, but we invite you to create an account and start sharing your ideas and projects.
