====== Subscription Help ======

Subscribing to the wiki is straightforward and fairly easy to do. At the bottom of every page is a button labeled "RSS XML FEED". Clicking on this loads "feed.php" which generates a list of recently updated documents on the wiki. By default, the feed format is RSS 1.0. One can then subscribe to the page that is loaded to be informed of updates to the wiki.
\\ \\ 
How the feed is generated can be influenced through various URL parameters.
