  46     <h2>User documentation</h2>
  47     <p>Unfortunately no user's guide currently exists for OpenRocket.
  48       Some documentation is available in the
  49       <a href="http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/openrocket/">OpenRocket
  50       wiki pages</a>, including a stub

  56     <h2>Technical documentation</h2>
  57     <p>OpenRocket was originally written as the Master's thesis of
  58     Sampo Niskanen at Helsinki University of Technology.  The thesis
  59     currently functions as the technical documentation, and will be
  60     updated in the future to account for further enhancements.
