'''If you want to contribute to this wiki, we are happy to have you onboard!'''

But first there are some stuff you need to know and some other guidelines to follow, just so that everything looks like it should be, and the reader is not confused reading the same thing with different spelling and so on. First of all, mediawiki (this wiki) uses its own markup language, that does not resemble many other languages if you have not worked on any wikis before. For a intro on how to write please refer to the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents User's guide] for a comprehensive guide.

* If you don not want to learn the syntax, just use the toolbar on the editing window, most of you will probably do it this way.

* Other ways to write a mediawiki is using software like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_(software) eclipse], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnu_emacs Gnu Emacs], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vim_(text_editor) Vim] and other software that has syntax highlighting support.

* [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/12529 WikED], is a greasemonkey script for firefox that supports Mediawiki syntax.

'''For spelling we have set out there rules:'''
* Apostrophes: "VST's", and even more so "VST´s" is not a correct english plural. Plurals go without an apostrophe (or even accent as in the latter example), so please remove those when you spot them.

* Prefer writing out words over informal style, f.e. "you will" instead of "you'll", or "cannot" over "can't". It simply looks better in such a document.

* Replace passages written in CAPS by bold print or italic print where it makes sense.

* Always use "MIDI", not "Midi".

* Similarly, "ModPlug" should be preferred over "Modplug".
