+The SIPB Documentation Project is a project to document in written

-To kick off the project, we will be holding a SIPB Documentathon in the SIPB office on Sunday, September 14, starting at 1pm. Anyone who either has or wants knowledge about computing at MIT or SIPB is welcome!
+See ProjectIdeas for stuff to try doing to further the goals of the SIPB.

-This is a list of topics that need documentation in one form or another or that are good for explaining to prospectives.
+ * UsingZephyr -- An attempt at a complete beginner's guide to getting
+   on Zephyr with BarnOwl and screen.
+  * BarnOwl has some more documentation on [http://barnowl.mit.edu/ its wiki]
+ * [wiki:XVM] (On XVM's trac)
+  * [https://xvm.mit.edu/trac/wiki/Remctl using `remctl`]
+  * [https://xvm.mit.edu/trac/wiki/SerialConsole getting the serial console]
+ * SummerReading -- Documents or books that various SIPB members recommend reading.

 
 

- * UsingZephyr -- [http://barnowl.mit.edu/wiki/GettingStarted] is a good start, but could use text on screen and tickets, among other things
- * AdvancedBarnOwl -- There are a lot of cool things you can do with BarnOwl. Almost none of them are documented (this may belong on the barnowl wiki, but since they're both trac, it's easy to move)
