User Guide
Standalone User Guide
There is currently no standalone user guide for Propel 1.3. We would like to provide one eventually, but until that time documentation will be managed exclusively in this wiki.
Wiki Documentation
We will be rewriting some of the chapters from the HTML user guide and providing new documentation topics in wiki format
Please send a note to dev@propel.tigris.org if you'd like to help write documentation. Any help is always appreciated. If you are helping, please see the wiki:Development/Guidelines/UserDocumentationGuidelines page for some style guidelines to keep things looking consistent.
