-This Wiki is an attempt to document the extensive JMRI suite. We're hoping to utilize the power inherent in the Wiki approach to get it done by the JMRI community at large. We've already had some great contributions from a few dedicated souls!
+What does JMRI do?[[File:JMRIhompage.jpg]]
-The JMRI project is aimed at building tools to help the model railroader employ computers to assist in using and running their layouts. We want it to be usable to as many people as possible, so we're building it in Java, which allows it to run on nearly any operating system and a wide range of hardware.

-If you are new to DCC in general, the DCCWiki page [http://wiki.dccforall.com/Main_Page] will prove very enlightening!
+How does JMRI relate to DCC.
-=What is the ''JMRI Suite''? Where can I get it? =
+Using JMRI without DCC.
-Firstly, JMRI (''Java Model Railroad Interface'') is free and open-source software, but there are some restrictions.  Generally, you have to give us credit if you use all or part of it to build your own software.  For more details, see the [http://jmri.sourceforge.net/Copyright.html copyright, trademark and license page].
+Which DCC system can JMRI connect to. What each DCC system can do.
-JMRI is a suite of programs which helps you get along with [[DCC]] easier.  Briefly, it comprises a number of programs which can be used to program DCC decoders, to run a DCC layout, or to monitor a LocoNet environment.
+How to connect to each DCC System.
-- [[DecoderPro]] - For programming and managing decoders
+How to verify the connection between JMRI and the DCC system.
-- [[PanelPro]] - For running a layout
+Using service mode and operations mode to program mobile decoders.
-- [[LocoNet Tools]] -  A set of Digitrax specific LocoNet Tools
+PanelPro - what it is and what it can do
+    How to setup a layout
+       Track
+       Turnouts
+       Signals
+       Other Control Panels
+       External Displays
-- [[DispatcherPro]] -  (??)
+    How to collect feedback from your track through S88, Loconet etc
+    How to use that feedback to control trains on the track
+    How to define trains
-[http://jmri.sourceforge.net The JMRI homepage] is the 'official' homepage of the project.
+What's WiThrottle and how do I set it up?
-The suite may be downloaded from the [http://jmri.sourceforge.net/download JMRI software download] page. Prebuilt versions exist for computers running Windows (98se on), Mac (Classic and OSX) and Linux. '''However''', experience tells us that you would be wise to study the
+Trouble shooting problems
-[[What do I need to run JMRI?]] link '''before''' actually downloading and trying to install the software.....
-==Donations==
-Donations to the JMRI project can be made on the [http://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?group_id=26788 donations] page should you wish to contribute some of your hard earned! Contributions made via this link also ensure that Sourceforge is happy to host 'our stuff', which is nice!
-==[[What do I need to run JMRI?]]==
-In short, JRMI is a cross platform application.  For full details, see: [[What do I need to run JMRI?]]
-==[[Can I try the program without any layout connection?]]==
+S2rs Hey, thanks for the blog.Much thanks again. Great.
-=Where next?=
+yH8OQP Thank you for your article post.Really thank you! Will read on...
-Assuming you've visited the above links and determined that you have the necessary prerequisites the next thing is to connect it to the command station, or the [[Loconet simulator]].  Instructions on various configurations follow:
-* [[Can I try the program without any layout connection? | Instructions for installation without a layout]]
-* [[OsxDtrax | MacOS X with Digitrax]]
-* [[MacOS X with Lenz]]
-* [[ScriptMain | Information on scripting]].
-* Please add others!
-=FAQ=
-The [[FAQ]] page (will) contain(s) some notes on upgrading from previous releases and other useful 'tidbits'.
-=1.7.3 Release Notes=
-The (very) imminent release of this long awaited new version is likely to be 'the biggest yet' for the JMRI suite! The [[1.7.3 release notes]] page is the place to go for late breaking news.
