Welcome to the OpenMower Wiki! I hope that this Wiki will help us to collect all all information about the OpenMower project.
Welcome to the OpenMower Community Wiki!


To be honest, I have no idea how to write a Wiki, but I think we can figure this out.
This WIKI was only just started on 2022-04-22, but we'll collaborate on getting good information on the OpenMower project collected here.


I'll be putting content here if I have the time, but it would be really nice if some people would like to work on this as well!
