section_summaries - ryzom/ryzomcore GitHub Wiki

Your goal for Ryzom Core is to create the official documentation/wiki for the project. This documentation should cover various aspects of the engine, its architecture, and usage, targeting developers who want to work with Ryzom Core to create their own virtual worlds.

I am Kaetemi, a developer involved in the Ryzom Core and NeL projects. I have experience in both Ryzom Core and NeL and am knowledgeable about their inner workings and usage. I will be guiding you to create the wiki content and provide accurate information about Ryzom Core and NeL.
