# Accessing slrn's Online Documentation

The current documentation for slrn is also available online. Besides the plain text versions that come with the source distribution this page also offers single and multi-page HTML versions of many documents and in some cases pdf versions as well. Users of slrn are strongly encouraged in addition to read through other sections of the slrn website.

Work on this documentation is now a continuing and evolving process courtesy of the Slrn Documentation Project. Details of this project can be found below.

## The Slrn Documentation Project

The slrn Documentation Project is a third party project that aims to provide documentation for the slrn newsreader. The project goals are:

- To assist in keeping the official slrn documentation up to date by allowing collaborative work by "unofficial" documentation writers before submitting patches to the slrn project.
- To develop new documentation which may or may not become "official".
- To modernise existing documentation by conversion from Linuxdoc-SGML to other formats.
- To translate the documentation into other languages.

Updated document packs are available as well as a subversion repository where "work in progress" versions can be obtained. Assistance is always welcome in this project, please contact the administrator if you would like to be involved. Contact details can always be found on the project's website.
