## Documentation

Most of the documentation you can find here is in the tinc packages
as well. If you have any questions you cannot find answered here,
please try the list of [[Frequently Asked Questions|faq]]. If you
still have a problem or comments you can send them to the
[[mailing list|mail]] or you can [[contact]] the authors.

Note: documentation is always behind. If you think you miss
something, you spotted an error or you notice that the program does
something else than the documentation says, please tell us!
