The Grouper Book is being "written" in sections off-line and being added to the Wiki in draft form. It aims to provide documentation on Grouper which can take people from beginner to expert.

Sections on the Wiki will be marked in one of 4 stages:
- Blank - no real content yet
- Draft - initial drafts
- Reviewed - has been reviewed for accuracy (technical and linguistic)
- Completed - finished (at least for the current version)
