-====== What is NAV? ======
+====== Welcome to the NAV wiki! =====
-{{navlogo48.png |(NAV logo)}} **Network Administration Visualized** is an advanced software suite to monitor large computer networks. It automatically discovers network topology, monitors network load and outages, and can send alerts on network events by e-mail and SMS, allowing for flexible configuration of alert profiles.
-Development of **NAV** started in 1999 at the [[http://www.ntnu.no|Norwegian University of Science and Technology]] (NTNU). It originated as a collection of scripts used internally at NTNU's ITEA Network group. In 2001 [[http://www.uninett.no|UNINETT]] became interested in its development. In 2006 the development of NAV was moved from NTNU to UNINETT. NAV is used at nearly all universities and university colleges in Norway and [[navusers|many places elsewhere]].
+This Wiki contains information about the open source NMS Network Administration Visualized. For the latest official documentation, please see https://nav.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ . Some of the older documentation may still be in the process of being moved from the Wiki to the official documentation.
-[[https://launchpad.net/nav|{{ ::launchpad-badge-w120px.png|(NAV uses Launchpad)}}]]  NAV is [[PostCard|free]], available under the GNU GPLv2 license. The latest stable version of NAV is 3.14.159 (released 11 April 2013).
-To quickly kick-start and test NAV we recommend our [[navappliance|virtual appliance]].
