Welcome to the PlayN Community Wiki!

Please feel free to edit anything you like here if you feel it makes it better. I think you need a github account in order to edit, and then away you go :-)

I've always thought that documentation should be iterative and fun. This is the best example of documentation I've seen on a complex topic. So feel free to add personality.
