+Alert
+=====
+
+From time to time it may be necessary to display a small unobtrusive message to 
+the congregation. In OpenLP this is known as an `Alert`. Examples could be a car 
+with the headlights left on, a parent needed in nursery, or anything else 
+somebody may need notified about. This is easily accomplished using the Alert, 
+which is accessible from the top Menu under :menuselection:`Tools --> Alert`.
+
+.. image:: pics/alert.png
+
+:guilabel:`Alert text:` Enter the message you want displayed in this box.
+
+:guilabel:`Parameter:` This box is used for words you want to insert into the 
+alert text.
+ 
+You will add the Parameter text into the alert text using “<>” (without 
+quotations). Anywhere in the Alert text that you add these two symbols, <> side 
+by side, will insert any text you have in the parameter box into the Alert 
+message.
+
+Examples of use
+---------------
+ 
+:guilabel:`Alert text:` The owner of the vehicle with license plate number <> 
+your lights are on.
+
+:guilabel:`Parameter:` HNN432
+
+These two settings will display like this:
+
+The owner of the vehicle with the license plate number HNN432 your lights are on.
+
+You could also reverse this example:
+
+:guilabel:`Alert text:` HNN432 <>
+
+:guilabel:`Parameter:` left their lights on.
+
+`Will display like this:` HNN432 left their lights on.
+
+If you use the same alerts on a regular basis, Save your Alert and you will have 
+access to the alert with a click of the mouse. You may also click on `New` to 
+make a new alert or `Delete` an alert you do not need.
+
+When you are ready to Display your Alert you have two options. Clicking on 
+Display will display the Alert and the Alert Message window will remain open. 
+Clicking Display & Close will display the alert and close the Alert Message 
+window. 
+
+All details of the display, font, color, size and position are adjusted from the 
+top Menu item :menuselection:`Settings --> Configure OpenLP`, Alert tab and the 
+instructions here. :doc:`configure`
+
+**Please note:** Alert Message is a Plugin that needs to be Active in the Plugin 
+List for use.

+Frequently Asked Questions
+==========================
+
+General Questions
+=================
+
+What is OpenLP?
+---------------
+
+
+OpenLP stands for "Open source Lyric Projection" and is presentation software 
+developed for Churches to provide a single easy to use interface for the 
+projection needs of a typical act of Worship. First created in 2004, it has 
+steadily grown in features and maturity such that is it now a mainstay in 
+hundreds of churches around the world. 
+
+It can hold a searchable database of song lyrics and Bible verses allowing them 
+to be projected instantly or saved in a pre-prepared order of service file. 
+Themes allow song backgrounds to be changed instantly. PowerPoint presentations, 
+videos and audio files can be run from within the program removing the need to 
+switch between different programs. Alert messages can be displayed so the 
+Nursery or Car park stewards can notify the congregation easily. Remote 
+capability allows the worship leader to change songs, or for alert messages to 
+be sent from anywhere on the network, even via a phone.
+
+Being free, this software can be installed on as many computers as required,
+even on the home computers of worship leaders without additional cost. Compared
+to the expensive site licenses or restrictions of commercial software we believe
+OpenLP cannot be beaten for value. Still in active development by a growing team
+of enthusiastic developers, features are being added all the time, meaning the 
+software just improves all the time.
+
+When is the release date for OpenLP 2.0?
+----------------------------------------
+
+*It will be ready when it's ready!* We do not have fixed dates, but we have 
+set some `targets for the releases <http://wiki.openlp.org/Version_2_Milestones>`_.
+If you take part in the `development <http://wiki.openlp.org/Development:Getting_Started>`_,
+start to `test OpenLP <http://wiki.openlp.org/Testing:Getting_Started>`_ and 
+`provide feedback <http://wiki.openlp.org/Help:Contents>`_ this will speed up 
+the progress.
+
+Can I help with OpenLP?
+-----------------------
+
+OpenLP is possible because of the commitment of individuals. If you would like 
+to help there are several things that you can get involved with. Please see: 
+`Contributing <http://openlp.org/en/documentation/introduction/contributing.html>`_ 
+for more information.
+
+I use and like OpenLP and would like to tell others online. Where can I do this?
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+A variety of places!
+
+* Are you on facebook? Then `become a fan <http://www.facebook.com/openlp>`_
+* Are you on twitter? Then `follow openlp <http://twitter.com/openlp>`_, and
+  retweet the announcements.
+* Give us a thumbs up on the
+  `SourceForge project page <http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/openlp>`_ 
+* If you have a website or blog, then link to our site http://www.openlp.org
+  with a few words saying what the software is and why you like it.
+* Add a placemark on our `Worldwide Usage map <http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&source=embed&msa=0&msid=113314234297482809599.00047e88b1985e07ad495&ll=13.923404,0&spn=155.179835,316.054688&z=2>`_,
+  so others in your locality can see someone close by is using it.
+* If you are a member of any Christian Forums or websites, and their rules allow
+  it, then perhaps review the software or ask others to review it.
+
+What operating systems will OpenLP 2.0 support?
+===============================================
+
+OpenLP 2.0 is designed to be cross platform. Currently it has been known to run 
+on Windows (XP, Vista, 7), Linux (Ubuntu/Kubuntu, Fedora), FreeBSD & Mac OSX. 
+`Please let us know <http://wiki.openlp.org/Help:Contents>`_ if you've 
+successfully run it on something else.
+
+Which programming language is 2.0 developed in?
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+OpenLP 2.0 is written in `Python <http://www.python.org>`_ and uses the 
+`Qt4 toolkit <http://qt.nokia.com>`_. Both are cross-platform which allows the 
+software to run on different types of machine and so allow more people access to 
+free worship software. Python is one of the easier programming languages to 
+learn, so this helps us develop and `find bugs <http://wiki.openlp.org/Bug#Something_has_gone_wrong.2C_what_should_I_do_to_help_get_it_fixed.3F>`_ 
+quicker, and also allows more developers to contribute with the project.
+
+Which written languages does OpenLP support?
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The beta now has support for a few languages which can be seen on the 
+:menuselection:`Settings -->Translate` menu. However some of these translations 
+are incomplete. If you would like to help complete or start to translate OpenLP 
+into your language then see the `Getting started page <http://wiki.openlp.org/Translation:Getting_Started>`_. 
+
+What is a beta release?
+-----------------------
+
+A beta release is a release which is almost feature complete and is fairly 
+stable. However there may still be a few `features <http://wiki.openlp.org/Version_2_Features>`_ 
+to complete, and `bugs <https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp>`_ we've not yet fixed. 
+It is used by several people without serious problems. However there is a small 
+possibility that it could still crash occasionally or do unexpected things. It 
+is intended for those who want the latest version, and are prepared to give the 
+program a good test before using it in a live situation to ensure they won't 
+encounter any unexpected problems. If you want to have a look at the latest beta 
+release then just `download it <http://openlp.org/en/download.html>`_.
+
+Should I use this beta release at Church in my Sunday services?
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+As long as you have taken the time to run through your service a couple of times 
+on your target machine, the answer to this question is **yes**. The OpenLP 
+team believes that OpenLP 2.0 beta 1 is stable enough to be used in Sunday 
+services. As of beta 1, there are a good number of churches already using 
+version 2.0 successfully. The OpenLP team works hard to make sure each release 
+is solid, but cannot yet guarantee that everything works perfectly, or even 
+correctly.
+
+If however your congregation is made up of 85 year old women who snarl when you 
+suggest replacing the gas lamps with electric light bulbs and consider the pipe 
+organ too loud and modern, then we recommend sticking with version 1.2 for now.
+
+As of beta 1, version 1.2 of OpenLP is "put out to pasture" - no more 
+development or even bugfixes will be performed on that version.
+
+Upgrading
+=========
+
+Does 2.0 replace 1.2, or can they be run side by side?
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+It is perfectly safe to install 2.0 on a system with 1.2. Both versions are 
+installed in separate places, so you can still go back to 1.2. You can even run 
+them at the same time!
+
+2.0 stores its data in a separate folder to 1.2, so your data is perfectly safe, 
+and whatever you do in 2.0 will not damage 1.2
+
+Are 1.2 and 2.0 compatible?
+---------------------------
+
+No. However imports exist to transfer your data to the new version.
+
+I have a computer that is quite old, should I upgrade?
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+2.0 does require significantly more resources than v1.2. Therefore if your 
+computer does not have much memory you may find 2.0 will struggle, `especially` 
+when changing between slides.
+
+Why can I not see my 1.2 songs, bibles and themes in 2.0?
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is an beta release, which means it is not finished and one of the things we 
+haven't completely finished yet is importing 1.2 data automatically. We plan to 
+do this `Version 1.9.6 (beta 2) <http://wiki.openlp.org/Version_2_Milestones#Version_1.9.6_.28beta_2.29>`_.
+
+How do I transfer my 1.2 song database?
+---------------------------------------
+
+In OpenLP 2.0, go to the :menuselection:`File --> Import --> Song` menu.
+In the Wizard that appears, click Next and choose "openlp.org v1.x" from the 
+Format list. Click the search button on the Filename prompt, and at the bottom 
+of the dialog, copy the following into the File name prompt::
+
+    %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\openlp.org\Data\songs.olp
+
+*(This must be in the popup file chooser dialog. Don't enter it directly into 
+the wizard).*
+
+Click Open, then in the wizard just click Next and wait for the import to complete.
+
+How do I transfer my 1.2 Bibles?
+--------------------------------
+
+In OpenLP 2.0, go to the :menuselection:`File --> Import --> Bible` menu.
+In the Wizard that appears, click Next and choose "openlp.org v1.x" from the 
+Format list.
+Click the search button on the Filename prompt, and at the bottom of the dialog, 
+copy the following into the File name prompt::
+
+    %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\openlp.org\Data\Bibles
+
+*(This must be in the popup file chooser dialog. Don't enter it directly into 
+the wizard).*
+
+Choose the Bible, Click Open, then in the wizard just click Next, enter the 
+License details, and wait for the import to complete.
+
+How do I transfer my 1.2 Themes?
+--------------------------------
+
+In openlp.org v1, export each theme by selecting it in the Theme Manager, and 
+then clicking the picture of a blue folder with red arrow on the Theme Managers 
+toolbox. This theme file can then be imported into V2 using the 
+:menuselection:`File --> Import --> Theme` menu.
+
+I can't get my 2.0 theme to look the same as 1.2
+------------------------------------------------
+
+OpenLP 2.0 is a complete rewrite using a completely different programming 
+language so it would work on different types of system. There are differences in 
+how the old and new languages draw text on the screen, and therefore it is 
+unlikely you'll get an exact match.
+
+Using OpenLP
+============
+
+Is there a manual or any documentation for 2.0?
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+Some folks are working on a brand new manual for OpenLP 2.0. You can find the 
+latest version of this manual at http://manual.openlp.org. If you need help, 
+use the live chat feature or ask in the forums. If you would like to help write 
+the manual, please let us know - we are always happy for new volunteers to join 
+the team and contribute to the project.
+
+I've started OpenLP, but I can't see the songs or bibles section in the Media Manager
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+When you installed OpenLP, the first time wizard would have asked which plugins 
+you wanted, and songs and bibles should have been selected. If for some reason 
+they were not, then you will need to activate them yourself. See 
+`How do I activate / deactivate a plugin <http://wiki.openlp.org/Bug#How_do_I_activate_.2F_deactivate_a_plugin.3F>`_ 
+for instructions.
+
+How do I activate / deactivate a plugin?
+----------------------------------------
+
+Plugins can be turned on and off from the Plugin List Screen. Select the plugin 
+you wish to start/stop and change it's status. You should not need to restart 
+OpenLP.
+
+What are these plugins that I keep seeing mentioned?
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+The plugins allow OpenLP to be extend easily.  A number have been written 
+(Songs, Bibles, Presentations) etc but it is possible for the application to be 
+extended with functionality only you require.  If this is the case then go for 
+it but lets us know as we can help and it may be something someone else wants.
+
+How do I enable PowerPoint/Impress/PowerPoint Viewer?
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+First of all ensure that the presentation plugin is enabled (see above).
+Then to enable a presentation application, go to the `Settings` dialog, switch 
+to the `Presentations` tab and check one of the enabled checkboxes. OpenLP will 
+automatically detect which of the three you have installed, and enable the 
+appropriate checkbox(es). Check the applications you require, and then restart 
+OpenLP for the change to be detected. 
+Note, PowerPoint Viewer 2010 is not yet supported, use 2003 or 2007.
+
+See also `I'm on Windows and PowerPoint is installed, but it doesn't appear as an option <http://wiki.openlp.org/OpenLP_2_Introduction_and_FAQ#I.27m_on_Windows_and_PowerPoint_is_installed.2C_but_it_doesn.27t_appear_as_an_option>`_
+and `Why is there no presentations plugin available on OS X? <http://wiki.openlp.org/OpenLP_2_Introduction_and_FAQ#Why_is_there_no_presentations_plugin_available_on_OS_X.3F>`_
+
+Why is there no presentations plugin available on OS X?
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Currently the presentations plugin is not bundled with OpenLP on OS X. The 
+reason for that is that the OpenOffice.org version on Mac OS X does not contain 
+the (more exact: does only contain a broken) interoperability component (the so 
+called pyuno bridge) which could be used by OpenLP. As soon as the 
+interoperability component works on OS X we can re-enable the plugin and bundle 
+it. We are really sorry for that.
+
+Is it possible to get Bible x? How?
+-----------------------------------
+
+The Bible plugin has a much improved `Import Wizard` which can import Bibles 
+from a variety of sources. The following sources are supported:
+
+CSV
+    The same format as documented for `openlp.org 1.x <http://www.openlp.org/en/documentation/importing_exporting_data/bibles/importing_comma_delimited_files.html>`_.
+
+OSIS
+    An XML format for Bible. You can export Bibles from the `Sword Project <http://www.crosswire.org/sword/software/>`_
+    into OSIS using the ``mod2osis`` tool. After using the Sword software Media
+    Manager (or other Sword frontend, like BibleTime or Xiphos) to download the
+    required Bible, run the following command from the command line (works on
+    Windows and Linux)::
+
+        mod2osis <name> > <name>.osis
+
+    The ``<name>`` parameter is the name of your Bible, as you see it in Sword.
+    Note that the ``<name>`` is case sensitive on all environments. Once you
+    have exported your Bible to OSIS, the Bible import wizard will the read
+    ``<name>.osis`` file and import your Bible.
+
+OpenSong
+    OpenSong have a good selection of Bibles on their
+    `download page <http://www.opensong.org/d/downloads#bible_translations>`_.
+
+Web Download
+    OpenLP can download Bibles on demand from the following 3 sites:
+
+    * `Crosswalk <http://biblestudy.crosswalk.com/bibles/>`_
+    * `BibleGateway <http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/>`_
+    * `BibleServer <http://www.bibleserver.com>`_
+
+Why do my Bible verses take a long time to load?
+------------------------------------------------
+
+In order to better conform to copyright law, the Web Download Bibles are not 
+downloaded when you import them, but on the fly as you search for them. As a 
+result, the search takes a little longer if you need to download those 
+particular verses. Having said that, the Web Download Bibles cache downloaded 
+verses so that you don't need to download them again.
+
+My Bible is on the Web Download sites, but my Church isn't on the internet. What options do I have?
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+When you create and save a service, all the items in the service are saved with 
+it. That means any images, presentations, songs and media items are saved. This 
+is also true for bibles. What this means is you can create the service on your 
+home computer, insert a Bible passage from the web, save it and then open the 
+service using your church computer and voila, the Bible passage should be there! 
+Note this can also be done with songs, etc!
+
+(Advanced) Where do I find the configuration file?
+==================================================
+
+Linux, FreeBSD & PC-BSD
+-----------------------
+
+If your distribution supports the XDG standard, you'll find OpenLP's 
+configuration file in::
+
+    /home/<user>/.config/OpenLP/OpenLP.conf
+
+If that file and/or directory does not exist, look for::
+
+    /home/<user>/.openlp/openlp.conf
+
+``<user>`` is your username.
+
+OS X
+----
+
+You'll find your configuration file here::
+
+    /Users/<user>/Library/Preferences/org.openlp.OpenLP.plist
+
+``<user>`` is your username.
+
+Windows
+-------
+
+On Windows, OpenLP does not use a configuration file, it uses the Windows 
+registry. You can find the settings here::
+
+    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OpenLP\OpenLP
+
+Troubleshooting
+===============
+
+Something has gone wrong, what should I do to help get it fixed?
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If you have found an error in the program (what we call a bug) you should report 
+this to us so that OpenLP can be improved. Before reporting any bugs please 
+first make sure that there isn't already a bug report about your problem:
+
+#. Check the `Launchpad bug list <https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp>`_
+#. `OpenLP support System <http://www.support.openlp.org/projects/openlp>`_
+#. Check the `bug reports <http://openlp.org/en/forums/openlp_20/bug_reports.html>`_ forum
+
+If there **is already a bug report**, you may be able to help by providing 
+further information. However, **if no one else has reported** it yet, then 
+please post a new bug report.
+
+#. The **preferred place** for reporting bugs is the
+   `bugs list <https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp>`_ on Launchpad.
+#. Alternatively, if you don't have a Launchpad account and don't want to sign
+   up for one, you can post in the
+   `bug reports forum <http://openlp.org/en/forums/openlp_20/bug_reports.html>`_.
+#. If none of these ways suits you, you can send an email to
+   ``bugs (at) openlp.org``.
+
+What information should I include in a bug report?
+==================================================
+
+Since OpenLP 1.9.4, there is a bug report dialog which automatically opens when
+OpenLP hits a serious bug. However, this doesn't appear all the time, and in
+some behavioural bugs, you'll have to file a bug report yourself. The following
+items are information the developers need in order to reproduce the bug.
+
+Operating System
+    Include information such as the version of your operating system, the
+    distribution (e.g. Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) if you're using Linux, or the
+    edition (e.g. Home, Basic, Business, etc.) if you're using Windows.
+
+Version of OpenLP
+    You can find out the version of OpenLP by going to :menuselection:`Help --> About`
+
+Steps to Reproduce
+    The exact steps the developers need to follow in order to reproduce the bug.
+
+Version of MS Office or OpenOffice
+    If you're using the song imports or the presentation plugin, you'll need to
+    supply the version of Office, OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice.
+
+Bible Translation and Source
+    If the bug occurred while you were working with Bibles, specify the
+    translation of the Bible, and the source format if you imported it yourself.
+
+**Any** Other Information
+    Often bugs are caused by something that might not seem to be directly
+    related to the bug itself. If you have any other information with regards to
+    actions you performed or other activities when the bug occurred, it would be
+    welcomed by the developers.
+
+The more information you give us, the better we can help you.
+
+I've been asked to email a debug log, where do I find this?
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+We may need a debug log to help pin-point the issue. A new log file is created 
+each time you start OpenLP so copy the file before you run the software a second 
+time. On Windows a Debug option is available in the start menu. On other systems, 
+you will need to run OpenLP from the command line, with the following 
+option: ```-l debug```. Please note, that is a lowercase **L**.
+
+If you haven't been given a specific email address to send it to, then please do 
+not paste the log contents straight into a forum post. Instead, open the log 
+file in a text editor (such as notepad on Windows) and copy and paste the 
+contents into somewhere like `pastebin.com <http://pastebin.com>`_. Then give us 
+the link to the page that is created.
+
+Windows
+^^^^^^^
+
+Find the OpenLP 2.0 folder in your Start menu. Choose the "OpenLP (Debug)" option.
+
+OpenLP will start up. Go to the :menuselection:`Tools --> Open Data Folder` menu 
+option, and an Explorer window will appear containing folders such as alerts, 
+bibles, custom etc. Keep this Explorer window open.
+
+Now repeat the steps you need to take in OpenLP to reproduce the problem you had, 
+and then close down OpenLP. 
+
+In the Explorer window you left open, navigate up one level into the openlp 
+folder. You will see the ``openlp.log`` file. This is the file to e-mail.
+
+Linux/FreeBSD
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you installed OpenLP from a package::
+
+    @:~$ openlp -l debug
+
+Alternately, if you're running OpenLP from source::
+
+    @:~$ ./openlp.pyw -l debug
+
+If your Linux distribution supports the XDG standard, you'll find the log in::
+
+    ~/.cache/openlp/openlp.log
+
+Otherwise, you'll find the log file in::
+
+    ~/.openlp/openlp.log
+
+Mac OS X
+^^^^^^^^
+
+Open Terminal.app and navigate to where you installed OpenLP, usually 
+``/Applications``::
+
+    @:~$ cd /Applications
+
+Then go into the OpenLP.app directory, down to the OpenLP executable::
+
+    @:~$ cd OpenLP.app/Contents/MacOS
+
+And then run OpenLP in debug mode::
+
+    @:~$ ./openlp -l debug
+
+Once you've done that, you need to get the log file. In your home directory, 
+open the Library directory, and the Application Support directory within that. 
+Then open the openlp directory, and you should find the openlp.log file in that 
+directory::
+
+    /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/openlp/openlp.log
+
+``<username>`` is your username.

+
+The command line shows many error messages
+------------------------------------------
+
+When running OpenLP from the command line, you might get something like this::
+
+    WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded 
+    WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded 
+    WARNING: Phonon::createPath: Cannot connect  Phonon::MediaObject ( no objectName ) to  VideoDisplay ( no objectName ).

+    WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded
+
+These error messages indicate that you need to install an appropriate backend 
+for Phonon.
+
+Linux/FreeBSD
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you're using Gnome, you need to install the GStreamer backend for Phonon. On 
+Ubuntu you would install the ```phonon-backend-gstreamer``` package::
+
+    @:~$ sudo aptitude install phonon-backend-gstreamer
+
+If you're using KDE, you need to install the Xine backend for Phonon. On Kubuntu 
+you would install the ```phonon-backend-xine``` package::
+
+    @:~$ sudo aptitude install phonon-backend-xine
+
+If you know which audiovisual system you're using, then install the appropriate 
+backend.
+
+phonon-backend-vlc may also be worth trying on some systems.
+
+Windows & Mac OS X
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Phonon should already be set up properly. If you're still having issues, let the 
+developers know.
+
+I've upgraded from 1.9.2 to a newer version, and now OpenLP crashes on load
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+You need to upgrade your song database. See this `blog post <http://openlp.org/en/users/jt/blog/2010-07-20-flag_day_database_schema_changes_in_trunk_revision_956.html>`_
+for information on how to do this.
+
+I've upgraded to 1.9.5, and now OpenLP has duplicates of many songs in the Media Manager
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+You need to run :menuselection:`Tools --> Re-index Songs`.
+
+There are no menu icons in OpenLP
+---------------------------------
+
+This may affect (only) Linux users with XFCE or Gnome. To solve the problem,
+follow the instructions on `this bug report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/501468/comments/3>`_.
+
+JPEG images don't work
+----------------------
+
+This is a known issue on some Mac OS X 10.5 systems, and has also been seen on 
+Windows XP too. The solution is to convert the image into another format such as 
+PNG.
+
+MP3's and other audio formats don't work
+----------------------------------------
+
+This is a known issue on some systems, including some XP machines, and we have 
+no solution at the moment.
+
+Videos can be slow or pixelated. Background Videos are very slow
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If you are just playing videos from the Media plugin, try selecting the 
+:guilabel:`Use Phonon for Video playback` option in the Media configuration,
+accessible by going to :menuselection:`Settings --> Configure OpenLP --> Media`.
+As for text over video, we have no solution for speeding this up. Reducing the
+monitor resolution and avoiding shadows and outline text will help. We are
+hoping a future release of the toolkit we are using (QtWebKit) will help improve
+this, but there is no timeframe at present.
+
+Features
+========
+
+What new features will I find in 2.0?
+-------------------------------------
+
+Since 2.0 was a rewrite from the ground up, you won't find a great deal of new 
+features since initially we want to ensure all the 1.2 features are included. 
+However the developers have managed to sneak a few in. Take a look at the 
+`complete list <http://wiki.openlp.org/Version_2_Features>`_.
+
+Why hasn't popular feature request X been implemented?
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+We made a decision to first implement 1.2 features, before going wild on new 
+features. There are only a handful of developers working in their spare time. If 
+we were to try and include everything we wanted to implement, then 2.0 would not 
+likely ever get released.
+
+I have a great idea for a new feature, where should I suggest it?
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+First of all check it isn't on the `Feature Requests <http://wiki.openlp.org/Feature_Requests>`_ 
+page. If it is, then you need to say no more, it's already been suggested! If it 
+isn't on the list, then head to the 
+`feature request forum <http://openlp.org/en/forums/openlp_20/feature_requests.html>`_ 
+and post the idea there.

+First Run Wizard
+================
+
+When using OpenLP for the first time, the **First Run Wizard** will help you 
+with setting up your installation. This wizard is not intended to be a 
+comprehensive setup but will help you with the basics.
+
+Select Translation
+------------------
+
+.. image:: pics/001-first-time-language.png
+
+You can choose the translation you want to use or let OpenLP 
+automatically select it based on your operating system locale. Click 
+:guilabel:`OK` to continue.
+
+The "Welcome to the First Time Wizard" dialog box will appear next. Click 
+:guilabel:`Next`.
+
+.. image:: pics/002-first-time-wizard-welcome.png
+
+Activate required Plugins
+-------------------------
+
+.. image:: pics/003-first-time-wizard-plugins.png
+
+OpenLP has several plugins to choose from. By default, all plugins are enabled, 
+except the *Remote Access* plugin. For more information on these plugins, please 
+read the :doc:`mediamanager` section in the manual. If you are not sure of which 
+plugins to enable or disable, leave the selection as is. You can easily activate 
+or deactivate plugins later, when OpenLP is running, by going to 
+:menuselection:`Settings --> Plugin List`. Click :guilabel:`Next` to continue.
+
+Sample Songs
+------------
+
+.. image:: pics/004-first-time-wizard-songs.png
+
+OpenLP provides some sample songs in a few languages for downloading and 
+importing into your new song database. This is convenient for new users who do 
+not have any songs yet. If you already have songs in your database, OpenLP will 
+simply add these sample songs to your database, leaving your existing songs 
+intact. Once you are happy with which songs you'd like, click :guilabel:`Next`.
+
+Sample Bibles
+-------------
+
+.. image:: pics/005-first-time-wizard-bibles.png
+
+There are also a number of free Bibles that you can download and install. Using 
+the check box next to each Bible, select each Bible that you would like 
+installed. If you do not wish to install any Bibles, simply leave them all 
+unchecked. Once you are happy with your selection, click :guilabel:`Next` to 
+continue.
+
+Sample Themes
+-------------
+
+.. image:: pics/006-first-time-wizard-themes.png
+
+Some sample themes are also available for download and installation into OpenLP. 
+As with the Bibles, simply check the check box next to each theme to select it. 
+If you are a new user, these themes can help you understand how themes work. If 
+you are happy with your selected themes, click :guilabel:`Next` to continue.
+
+Default Settings
+----------------
+
+.. image:: pics/007-first-time-wizard-settings.png
+
+Default Display Monitor
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Screen 2. If you are installing OpenLP but are not connected to a second output 
+at the time, you can set this up later by going to 
+:menuselection:`Settings --> Configure OpenLP`.
+
+Default Theme
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you have selected one or more themes on the themes page of the wizard, you 
+can select which theme you'd like to be the default theme.
+
+If you are happy with the selections you have made, click :guilabel:`Next` to 
+continue to the next page.
