  22
  23           <p>It's a fact that one of the biggest problems with today's software is lack of good documentation, or any
  24           documentation for that matter. Programmers generally don't have a lot of time to document their work, and the things
  25           they do document are usually oriented towards other programmers. While we can appreciate the programmers point of view,
  26           we feel it's necessary to cater to a larger audience (i.e our users) by providing clear, concise information on how to
  27           use our software. The sections below will bring all of these pieces of information together for you.</p>
  28
  29           <p>Before you get started with Window Maker, you need to have an understanding of how to make use of the documentation
  30           that comes with the source distribution. The main objective to using documentation is to <strong>understand</strong>
  31           it, which coincidentally requires that you <strong>read</strong> it. A common mistake is for new or novice users to
  32           overlook this information, leading them to frustration and a bad first impression. Please take a moment to peruse the
  33           sections below, which should make the experience of learning Window Maker a more pleasant one.</p>

  49
  50
  51         <h2> Can I easily mount my external drives or connect to the internet with Window Maker?</h2>
  52         <p> Yes, you can. Mounting external media is not the problem of a window manager to solve, but
  53         a tipical Window Maker user can mount external media just as easily as any other desktop user.
  54         If you use a dockapp like <a href="https://github.com/raorn/wmvolman">wmvolman</a> or
  55         <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/wmudmount">wmudmount</a> you are just a click away from
  56         having your external media mounted on /media/VOLUME_LABEL.</p>
  57
  58         <p> And you can just as easily manage your network connections using the standard <code>nm-applet</code> running
  59         in a system tray like <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/wmsystemtray">wmsystemtray</a> on your dock.</p>
