Welcome to Rock ChMS - the free (& free forever), open-source, extensible Church Management System.
This wiki is the main source of documentation for developers working with or contributing to Rock. If you're not a developer, we recommend you visit the Spark Development Network website.
To help you get started we've organized the developer sections into three levels:
So read through the About Rock section and then down through to the Rock Development 202 section. You can then take a break and go develop something. When you're ready you can come back and read the last sections.
In the spirit of Rock, this documentation is community driven. You're encouraged to get involved by contributing to the documentation (see Rock Wiki Guidelines). Go ahead and edit existing pages as needed, but please add your new, proposed topics to the proposed topics page and someone from the team will review and put them into the table of contents.

A few things that are not covered in the documentation are here in the reference section.
