+====== About Lights and Shadows ======
+FIXME  This page is //really// outdated and incomplete. All types of light sources should be mentioned here: Radiosity area light sources
+(whose irradiance is defined with the material), radiosity point light source entities, dynamic light+shadow entities, sky light, ... (anything else?)
+One of the key questions that mappers frequently raise is how to define and place light sources.
+While placing light sources is generally easy, this section explains the types of available lighting techniques in Ca3DE and the options to create light sources for each.
+The Ca3D-Engine implements two different types of lighting techniques:
+  * Radiosity lighting and
+  * dynamic lighting.
+The two lighting techniques are quite distinct from each other, and each comes with a set of feature of its own.
