How?
First you need to register (link at top right of screen), When you've done that, just click the "edit" tab on the top of a page to edit the contents of that page.
The best way to create a new article is by creating a wiki link from an existing article. This prevents articles from being orphans, and it also generates more traffic for the article.
If you're not sure where to start, check out the wanted pages. These are articles that don't exist, but are linked from other articles in the hope that they will be created.
Naming Articles
This is a Mac Wiki, and disk space is cheap, so we don't need to go stuffing as much as we can about a wide range of products on one page. Break it up. For example, have a PowerBook page with a general overview about the history of PowerBooks, then link to the individual breakdowns of PowerBook, such as the PowerBook G4.
Article Content
Be sure to link as much as you can (within reason) in your articles. It's typical practice to only link a word once an an article subheading, or in the whole article. For example, if you're writinig about Safari, the first time you use the word WebKit, link it like so: [[WebKit]]. You don't need to go linking every subsequent use of the word.
Application Icons
A very handy tool to create application icons is IconExtractor. It was made specifically for this wiki, and is perfect for this purpose.
