Welcome to the Rivendell Wiki
This is a wiki dedicated to Rivendell, a radio broadcast automation solution. It will include a glossary, a list of tutorials, a reference manual, a FAQ, and user tips and tricks. Rivendell was created by Salem Radio Laboratories, a division of Salem Communications, a national network of Christian radio stations and program services.
On this site, you'll find the collected wisdom of our contributors on the most important aspects of installing, configuring, and using Rivendell for broadcasting facilities of all shapes and sizes. If you'd like to contribute from your experience as well, please start out by taking a look at our Community Page for some hints and philosophy.
This is a wiki, so the material you read has been contributed and edited by many people; you will likely find it important to check the history page and the User Talk pages for the listed contributors to properly adjust your confidence factor in the material you find here. particularly if you're using Rivendell in on-air applications.
As with most reference works on complicated topics, please remember that this site should not be construed as providing medical, legal, engineering, or any other form of advice the commercial provision of which in your jurisdiction requires licensure. Make sure you understand what you're doing before you do it: if you break something, you get to keep both pieces.
And, as with most wikis, this site will always be a work in progress. You might find it useful to bookmark the Recent Changes page to keep an eye on the evolution of the whole site, or add specific topic pages to your Watchlist.
