Forums can be small or large, but you need to think about the structure and the user experience. Thankfully Composr makes it very easy for us to create forums.

Need better information?

The Composr documentation is user-driven:

  • If you have found documentation problems that you'd like someone else to solve log an issue to the tracker.
  • If you'd like to contribute a chunk of documentation to go into a tutorial, also log an issue to the tracker.
  • If you want to contribute a new tutorial you can submit a link.
