-Because the main goal of WikiTI is to organize and collect documentation for the TI-83 and TI-83 Plus Family's operating systems, we want to keep this Wiki as organized as possible. One of the contributing factors of the creation of this Wiki was to make sure that the documentation that had been spread among many message boards and posts could be brought to one central place; therefore we want to make sure this resource is as useful as possible. Because of this goal, we ask that all contributers follow the rules described below.
+The main goal of WikiTI is to organize and collect documentation for the TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-83 Plus SE, TI-84 Plus/SE, and TI-84 Plus C SE calculators. (We're not against documenting other models, but you'll probably be doing it alone.) Unlike Wikipedia, WikiTI ''is'' a place where you can put your original research. Major community projects may also be documented here.
