The project was originally started by Simon Pearson, M0CLW, as an additional source of information for Win-Test users. As time progressed, more users began contributing, each of them with slightly different ideas and editing know-how. So we found it's time for a style guide as this documentation will finally grow into a complete reference manual that will - hopefully - be included with the Win-Test software distribution in the near future, thus replacing the slightly outdated reference manual.

The Win-Test wiki documentation project was originally started as an additional source of information for Win-Test users. As time progressed, more and more Win-Test users assisted and the wiki as seen now is the culmination of many people's contributions to the project. A big thank you to everyone who has helped!

Mailing list

An email-based mailing list exists for Win-Test users. This is the primary source for support. The Win-Test community are very helpful and the Win-Test developers are also very active on the reflector. It is highly recommended all Win-Test users subscribe. Please do not contact the Win-Test developers directly - they have private lives and your email may well be overlooked, missed or ignored if you do so.
