  57 <h1>Welcome to the Haiku User Guide</h1>
  58
  59 <p>Below, you'll find the documentation of the most important aspects of Haiku. Naturally, completing and extending the documentation is a continuing process (see the <a href="http://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/contents.html">online version</a> for updated pages and translations). If you find errors, would like to suggest topics or maybe even contribute yourself, please get in touch on the <a href="http://www.freelists.org/list/haiku-doc">documentation mailing list</a>. If you're interested in helping with translations, you'll find information on that at the <a href="http://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/i18n/UserGuide">i18n user guide wiki</a>.</p>
