    This rewrite of the project was an occasion for updating available
    documentations, wikis and instructions that can be found on the web. However,
    please be aware that we cannot update all sites that exist and that a lot
    misinformation is still spread. The best way to be sure to have the latest
    instructions is checking <a href="http://wiki.bumblebee-project.org">our wiki</a> or follow us at
