Adding a new page

To start a new page you can either create a link to it first on another page, like this:

[[My new page]]

then click the resulting link and start editing the new page, or you can add your new page name to the URL in your browser's address-bar, like this:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/My_new_page

and create the page first, before linking to it, or allow the wiki nannies to do the linking for you... they will see your page show up here:
