+==== Documentation ====
 GroIMP comes with built-in documentation. You can access it from the main menu under Help, on the welcome screen, or by clicking the small blue question marks located throughout the software.{{ :workshops:summer_school_25:02_monday:question_mark.png?200|}}

+==== Function browser ====
-GroIMP's programming language includes a large set of predefined functions and features. It can be quite hard to remember them all, especially in the beginning. Therefore, the software provides an [[user-guide:common_panel#function_browser|explorer]]  to help you find them and offers descriptions of them.

+==== Wiki ====
 The most important part for beginners is this wiki ([[https://wiki.grogra.de | wiki.grogra.de]]), here we try to provide not only infromation but also step by step tutorials.

 //If you ever find yourself on a minty green wiki page, then you have accidentally entered our "experimental" wiki, where we are working on a new structure for our information.//
+==== Manual ====
-=== Additional Material ===
+All embedded documentation of all plugins can be found online on  [[https://manual.grogra.de/]], this makes it easier to share specific references or search them. Moreover it allows to read the embedded documentation of a plugin without installing the plugin.
+==== e-learning ====
+The e-learning resources ([[http://openilias.uni-goettingen.de/openilias/goto_openilias_crs_175.html]]) include tutorials and videos in German and English language. Note: Some of the instructions, especially on the graphical user interface of the GroIMP software are outdated, but nevertheless the tutorials on modelling are still worth a look.
+==== Previous Workshops and Summer Schools ====
+A list of previous workshops and summer schools can be found under this link: [[https://wiki.grogra.de/doku.php?id=workshops:workshops]]
+Many of them contain presentations on all kind of topics from beginner tutorials to specific details and applicaitons.

 Similar to the embedded examples, we provide an online [[:gallery|gallery]] with a large number of projects and examples. It can be found at [[https://gallery.grogra.de | gallery.grogra.de]].
-=== Javadoc ===
+==== Javadoc ====
 For more technical documentation, we provide Javadoc ([[https://javadoc.grogra.de | javadoc.grogra.de]]), which contains information about GroIMP's source code. This can be extremely helpful when you need to find a specific feature in the RayTracer, the return format of a function in the RGG library, or similar information.

-==== Online comunities ====
+===== Online comunities =====
 To provide a more interactive support system, we offer a Slack server and a WeChat group. We are also part of the he [[https://fspm.discourse.group/c/software/groimp/8 | fspm discourse server]].
@@ Line 81: / Line 95: @@
 We encourage the FSPM Discourse over the Slack server since Slack removes all content every 30 days, while the Discourse forum can be accessed without an account, effectively creating a searchable knowledge base.

+For more technical issues, you are always encouraged to visit our [[https://gitlab.com/grogra/| code repositories]] and post your problem there. Additionally this is also the best place to add feature requests such as new import formats or specific functions.
