Documentation is somewhat dispersed, now let's see where we can learn something about this thing...
- Follow the video tutorials and browse through the slides at Openhelix.
- Read the User's guide and the FAQs
- Type in (manually) a couple of custom tracks in different formats
- Subscribe to the mailing list or search through it
- Look at the old website with lots of developer documentation and [http://genome-test.cse.ucsc.edu/admin/ a similar place with hgSearchSpec docs and statistics
- Mirror the browser on your machine, search through its mailing list and read the documentation in src/product
- read (some poor students') documentation how they added their own tracks to the browser
- Install the source tree and play with its tools, searching through the archives or this wiki, or browser the list of Kent source utilities available
- Read how the original annotations were created, in the makeDb-files and create your own annotations
- Put a new genome into the browser
