Welcome to the Coranto Documentation Project.
The wiki is being moved to http://www.coranto.org/wiki/. That site is up now and all new content will be added there. Please update your bookmarks.
Use the search box at the top right of this page to quickly find what you are looking for.
The purpose of this site is to provide a place where documentation relating to the Coranto news posting/CMS script can be maintained. The reason for using a Wiki is to make it easy for the community to contribute documentation.

Discussion Forum Links
The links to topics in the Coranto Discussion Forum may be broken or point to the wrong topic. This is the result of the old and new forum being combined changing many of the URLs to threads. I will fix them when I find them and have time. You can use This Form to report them.
