The wiki contains all kinds of documentation about the development of Ghost, and is also the place where you'll find early documentation for working with the various APIs. These documents are usually aimed at the people developing features, so they're rough around the edges, but they're here nonetheless.

The wiki largely functions as an extension to our contributing guide with lots of information about our workflows, how to use Git and GitHub, and the general process and procedure we work with. It's also a place we hope to use to expand our documentation on the codebase itself, to help developers get started with finding their way around and submitting fixes and features.

If you're a developer looking for the official developer documentation for things like themes, apps and the data API, you'll find that at docs.ghost.org.

If you're a user looking for information on installing, configuring and using Ghost, you'll find all those details in our user documentation at support.ghost.org.

If you're looking for a helping hand the best place is the Ghost forum, where the Ghost staff & community are all on hand to answer your queries and you can also get help on our IRC channel, which is #ghost on freenode.org.

Ghost is a free, open and simple blogging platform. It aims to enable digital publishing for the masses, and it's built in Node.js.

You can find out more by taking a look at our Roadmap or the planned features listing. Alternatively, you can try Ghost for free on Ghost.org or read the user guide.

The following documents are intended to provide all the information you need for working with the Ghost code base.

• Contributing Guide
• Code standards
• Git workflow
• Grunt Toolkit
• Tech architecture vision
• Functional testing with PhantomJS and CasperJS

• Importing from other blogs

Get started with Ghost themes by reading the theme documentation. The app API is not yet ready, we'll add the documentation there once we've finalised the API.

Ghost is expected to work the current and previous version of all major desktop and mobile browsers. Some functionality may be degraded in certain browsers.
