Are you a system administrator who installs, configures, upgrades, or integrates CiviCRM?
Have you noticed how _awesome_ the new [User Guide](https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/) and [Developer Guide](https://docs.civicrm.org/dev/en/latest/) are, but felt sad that the system administrator docs have been left out of the party, languishing in the wiki?
Your time has come! A System Administrator Guide will soon be on its way! ... *hopefully*...
**I've just launched a [Make It Happen campaign to build the System Administrator Guide](https://civicrm.org/make-it-happen/system-administrator-guide).** If I can raise **$2,000** USD by **October 15th**, I will migrate the _installation_, _setup_, and _upgrade_ documentation out of the wiki and into a beautiful guide on our new documentation platform.
I [already did this for the Developer Guide](https://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Content+migration+from+wiki+to+Developer+Guide) — just on an entirely volunteer basis. Even though I had some help (especially from Seamus Lee), it took a *lot* of time! At least 100 hours of my time. I only just started [keeping track](https://lab.civicrm.org/seanmadsen/community-timesheet/blob/master/timesheets/2017-08.md#migrate-wiki-pages-3808-hr) last month. The good news is that, for a variety of reasons, I think the Sysadmin Guide content migration will be quite a bit easier (hence the pretty low price of $2k USD). But I still don't want to take it on as a volunteer.
**[View the campaign](https://civicrm.org/make-it-happen/system-administrator-guide)** to learn more about the details and monitor its progress.
Or [go straight to the donation form](https://civicrm.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=87) if you're already convinced.
_PS: This is an "all or nothing campaign". If it doesn't raise at least $2k USD by Oct 15th, I won't build the guide. To follow this logic, you'll need to choose a pay-later contribution. Or choose to pay now and have your donation go to the Core Team if the campaign fails to meet its target._
