-If you're not a NetBSD developer, [[tell us your OpenID|register]].
+* [[commit to `wikisrc`|cvs]] (no web browser needed!)
+* [[edit in your browser|web]] (with easy previewing! just set a [[kerberos/password]] first)
+
+Either or both. Whichever's more convenient when the urge strikes you.

+If you're not a NetBSD developer, you can add a comment to any page.
+We intend to develop some custom features for ikiwiki that'll provide
+more meaningful ways for you to participate. Until then, please
