+3rd-Party Configuration
+=======================
+
+ownCloud resorts to some 3rd-party PHP components to provide its functionality.
+These components are part of the software package and are usually shipped in
+the ``/3rdparty`` folder.
+
+Parameters
+----------
+
+If you want to change the default location of the 3rd-party folder for some
+reason you can use the ``3rdpartyroot`` parameter to define the absolute file
+system path to the folder. The ``3rdpartyurl`` parameter is used to define the
+http web path to that folder, starting at the ownCloud web root.
+::
+    "3rdpartyroot" => OC::$SERVERROOT."/3rdparty",
+    "3rdpartyurl"  => "/3rdparty",

+Apps Configuration
+==================
+
+After you have installed ownCloud you might realise that it would be nice to
+provide this or that function on top of the core functionality in your own cloud.
+The first stop to look for the desired enhancement is to check out the ownCloud
+apps store (http://apps.owncloud.com/). There you will find a lot of ready-to-use
+apps provided by the ownCloud community.
+
+Parameters
+----------
+
+If you want to allow the installation of apps from the apps store you have to
+set ``appstoreenabled`` parameter, but this can only be done if at least one
+of the configured apps paths is writeable.
+::
+    "appstoreenabled" => true,
+
+The ``appstoreurl`` is used to set the http path to the ownCloud apps store.
+(The server should understand OCS (Open Collaboration Services).
+::
+    "appstoreurl" => "http://api.apps.owncloud.com/v1",
+
+Use the ``apps_paths`` array to set the apps folders which should be scanned
+for available apps and/or where user specific apps should be installed.The key
+``path`` defines the absolute file system path to the app folder. The key
+``url`` defines the http web path to that folder, starting at the ownCloud 
+web root. The key ``writable`` indicates if a user can install apps in that
+folder.
+
+**Hint:**
+If you want to make sure that the default ``/apps`` folder only contains apps
+shipped with ownCloud, you should follow the example and set-up a ``/apps2``
+folder which will be used to store all apps downloaded by users.
+::
+    "apps_paths" => array (
+        0 => array (
+                "path"     => OC::$SERVERROOT."/apps",
+                "url"      => "/apps",
+                "writable" => false,
+        ),
+        1 => array (
+                "path"     => OC::$SERVERROOT."/apps2",
+                "url"      => "/apps2",
+                "writable" => true,
+        ),
+    ),
+
+Finally you can enable checks for malicious code fragments of 3rd-party apps
+by setting the ``appcodechecker`` parameter.
+::
+    "appcodechecker" => false,

+Knowledge Base Configuration
+============================
+
+The usage of ownCloud is more or less self explaining but nevertheless a user
+might run into a problem where he needs to consult the documentation or knowledge
+base. To ease access to the ownCloud documentation and knowledge base, a help menu
+item is shown in the settings menu by default.
+
+Parameters
+----------
+
+If you want to disable the ownCloud help menu item for some reason you can use
+the ``knowledgebaseenabled`` parameter. The ``knowledgebaseurl`` parameter is used
+to set the http path to the ownCloud help page. (The server should understand OCS
+(Open Collaboration Services).
+
+**Hint:**
+Keep in mind that disabling the help menu item might increase the number of
+support request you have to answer in the future.
+::
+    "knowledgebaseenabled" => true,
+    "knowledgebaseurl"     => "http://api.apps.owncloud.com/v1",
