GMF's wiki is a place where we can collect reference material about Groups.io, stuff that goes beyond what's available through Groups.io's help pages (see the Help link in the bottom bar on every page). It is an adjunct to the discussions in this group, and a place to collaborate.
?You can help by writing or correcting articles, or just by commenting in a message to the group.

Help write Help
If you've read the official Groups.io help pages and found a typo, or an awkward or unclear phrase, or even a mistake, here's your chance to make it better: visit the Groups.io Help page Mock-up and make it better. No promises, but there's a good chance that Groups.io will adopt good ideas into the official help page.
