Hi Máirín :)

Thankyou very much for your quick and helpful response.

No wonder I was confused! I found it, and didn't realize what it  
was... :S

There is a link called UserPreferences, but the pencil and paper icon  
is for editing the current page. It is a terrible UI, I agree. The  
wiki is evidently partly translated into my language, but there are  
errors, and quite a bit untranslated. Do you know where I would go to  
work on the translation? I want to make it easier for other  
Vietnamese women coming here.

Thankyou, I don't think I could have worked it out without your help!  
What a weird wiki setup. Which wiki is it? I think I saw a moinmoin  
error message when I was searching: that's not a wiki I've personally  
translated, and I don't think I've used it yet. All learning time. :)

Boy, did it end up a _lot_ longer than I thought. At least, there  
should be anchors in the wiki. I didn't realize how much I'd had to  
learn at Gnome, which wasn't easy to find. I hope I've saved other  
people the same blundering about. :)

Now to wikify the article...
