Welcome to the Alfresco Wiki
You've arrived at the Alfresco Wiki, a community-managed information resource about Alfresco. If you need authoritative, formal documentation on the platform, you should start with docs.alfresco.com. That's where you'll find end-user and technical details on Community, Team, and Enterprise. The wiki, on the other hand, is for content that the community couldn't find on docs.alfresco.com (or wouldn't make sense to include there). For example, the wiki is where you'll find code snippets, cook books, technical details on edge cases or highly-specific use cases, and other stuff that wouldn't make sense in a formal documentation set, like local community meetup listings, roadmap, and how to contribute.
If you are still confused about docs.alfresco.com versus wiki.alfresco.com or you want to learn how to take a more active role in the Alfresco Wiki, take a look at the Guidelines.
Alfresco Community 4.2.c has been released. Alfresco 4.2 Community Edition has several exciting new features such as the rich media gallery view, improved Google Docs integration, and Download as a Zip. See Jeff Potts' write-up on his favorite new features in 4.2 Community Edition, Kevin Roast's blog post for more technical details, and this YouTube playlist for screencasts of the new features in action.

Alfresco Summit 2013
Save the Date! Alfresco Summit will be in Barcelona, Spain from November 4 - November 7 and in Boston, USA from November 12 - November 15.
Alfresco Summit is the next stage of evolution for Alfresco DevCon. The first day is an optional day for people to take training, attend the hack-a-thon, or, if you are a partner, take part in the Partner Summit. The next day the main conference starts with keynotes from industry visionaries and then we move into breakout sessions. This year we'll have four technical tracks like we've had in previous DevCons, plus two business tracks, plus a solutions track. And of course we'll have plenty of opportunities for networking, engineering office hours, and an exhibit hall where sponsors will be showing off their Alfresco-related products and services. Registration goes live in June. Watch the Alfresco Summit web site for more details.
Also, we're looking for customers, partners, and other community members to speak at Alfresco Summit. The call for presenters ends June 15 so do not wait to submit your speaking proposal.
If you'd like to see some of the sessions from last year's DevCon, check out the DevCon Web Site.

Alfresco App Now On Apple App Store!
Alfresco, in partnership with Zia Consulting, has developed a native iOS application for iPad and iPhone. The application allows mobile access to an Alfresco document repository. The application runs against the most recent Alfresco releases and no additional software needs to be installed or configured on the server. It is configured to connect to a demo Alfresco repository, so even if you aren't ready to hit your production repo, download the app and have a look. The app is available, free of charge, on the Apple iTunes Store. And, if you are a developer interested in creating your own mobile applications that work with Alfresco, you might be interested to know that the Alfresco Mobile source code is freely available as an open source project on BitBucket.
