Over the past month I have been working on a new User Guide website to present all the info a new user should need to set up a new system in a tidy way in location. **It’s far from finished** but it’s slowly coming together 😃 . Having a separate user guide should avoid new users getting lost following links which lead to development topics.

I would be interested to hear if you have any thoughts. This mini-site will replace the emonPi setup guide page on [openenegymonitor.org](http://openenegymonitor.org)

The new site should look great on a mobile device, something I think is important as a user might be following the guide while stuffed into a utility meter cabinet!

The site is build using Jekyll (markdown \> html static site generator) and is [fully open-souce on github](https://github.com/openenergymonitor/guide). All the pages (apart from the font page) have a ‘edit on GitHub’ button for anyone to suggest a modification.
