All the documentation for Tracks can be found within the /doc directory. It contains a manual in HTML (manual.html) or 
PDF format (manual.pdf), and this includes full instructions for both new installations and upgrades from older 
installations of Tracks. The instructions might appear long and intimidatingly complex, but that is mostly because of 
the number of different platforms supported, and the different configurations which can be used (e.g. running Tracks on 
your local computer or on a remote server). If you choose the appropriate section for your situation (installation vs. 
upgrade), and use the easiest (recommended) method, you should find the instructions easy to follow. If you encounter 
problems, try searching the wiki, forum or mailing list (URLs above), and ask a question if you cannot find a solution 
to your problem.

If you checked out Tracks from the GitHub repository, the manual is not provided by default and is in its own git 
submodule. To checkout the manual's source files, type "git submodule init doc/manual & git submodule update 
doc/manual". From then on, you should be able to issue the command "git pull" in the doc/manual directory to update the 
manual with the latest changes.

For those upgrading, change notes are available in /doc/CHANGELOG. If you are thinking about contributing towards the 
development of Tracks, please read /doc/README_DEVELOPERS for general information, or /doc/tracks_api_wrapper.rb for 
information on Tracks' API.

While fully usable for everyday use, Tracks is still a work in progress. Make sure that you take sensible precautions 
and back up all your data frequently, taking particular care when you are upgrading.

Enjoy being productive!
