Welcome to the HPCC Systems developer wiki!

Where to find help

If you are new to the HPCC-Platform sources, you can find help in the following locations:

1. sourcedoc.xml / Community Wiki

   sourcedoc.xml is maintained with the sources in docbook format, and can optionally be built into html as part of the make process. It's somewhat of a work in progress at present.

   Our Community Wiki contains information for new and experienced users, guiding you to the information you need quickly. You can also find out how to get involved with our open source community.

2. The #hpcc-dev channel on irc at irc.freenode.net or our Gitter rooms

   Developers will try to hang out there for general quick help on the hpcc sources.
