What is XDS, and how to obtain it?
XDS is a program written for the "reduction" of 2-dimensional data images ("frames") obtained from crystals irradiated with X-rays.
The author of the program is Wolfgang Kabsch (Wolfgang.Kabsch@mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de).
The program is free for academic use, and can be downloaded from http://www.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/~kabsch/xds/html_doc/downloading.html .
Documentation is at http://www.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/~kabsch/xds .

Purpose of the Wiki
The purpose of this Wiki is to supplement the documentation. I (Kay Diederichs) try to keep the Wiki up-to-date with XDS versions and insights. I plan to have Tips and Tricks for XDS usage, explanations of its output, and recommendations for the parameters in XDS.INP (if it appears useful to deviate from their defaults).
There is also a wishlist.
Use of the Wiki
The MediaWiki software used here works in the same way as the well-known Wikipedia. This means that any user can edit existing pages, and create new ones. Whether this policy can/will be maintained for the future remains to be seen.
To see what's there already, go to http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/xdswiki/index.php/Special:Allpages . Currently, mostly the file XDS.INP with its parameters is described.
