I have reformatted the R3.13 EPICS Record Reference Manual from the HTML
version that was online into MediaWiki syntax, and put it all online on
the EPICS Wiki here:

http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/wiki/index.php/RRM_3-13
However, the text is now way out of date, even for R3.13.10 -- I haven't
done any signficant updating or revising, just wikified the text from
May 1998, imported the pictures and made the links connect up properly.
This message is a Call for Volunteers to take on the job of updating
just one chapter each, or even just one section that you know to be
wrong (and how to fix it). You'll need an account on the Wiki software,
which you can get by asking me or anyone else who already has an account
to create one for you. By putting this on the Wiki, I'm trying to
spread the editing load around amongst the whole of the EPICS community
so almost anyone can take part. *This means you too!*
The idea is to bring the text up to scratch for R3.13.10 before we start
on a *separate* copy of the manual for R3.14.x, so please don't go any
further than R3.13.10 on these pages. If you wish to document what
changed in each release prior to R3.13.10 I'm not going to stop you, but
I really don't think that's necessary.
I listed a few suggestions for things that will need checking and
changing on the Editing Tasks page:
