You have been invited to the [http://sselab.de/ sselab] and you have no idea what this means?





You probably shall share some documents within a team and come to an integrated final document easily (--> [[Simple_start#Version_Control_.28Subversion.29|version control]]) or shall collect thoughts, ideas, problems etc.(--> [[Simple_start#Wikis|wiki]]). 

Simple storage like Dropbox (--> [[Simple_start#Storage|storage]]) is also available as well as a automatically generated mailing list (--> [[Simple_start#Mailing_List|mailing list]]). Let's forget about all the other services for now and lets handle this:




* You need to make an account.
''(Having an account simplifies access when using multiple projects. All services and projects can be accessed and managed with one account and password.)''


* You got an invitation via email. Click the link in that email.


[[File:invitation.png|center|frame|Invitation E-Mail]]



* Choose 'Create new Account' if you don't have one yet.


[[File:dialog.png|center|frame|Login Dialog]]



* Enter some personal data, it is really helpful to use your surname as login (or another name that identifies you to the other team members).


[[File:registration.png|center|frame|SSELab Registration Form]]



* You now have the account and are member of the project.


[[File:complete.png|center|frame|Registration Confirmation]]

* This allows you to login to sselab and browse the project data.








= What's next? =

You can
# Browse the projects services
# Checkout svn (if it is a selected service)
# Look at the internal and external wikis (if selected services)
#* Note that the external wiki is globally visible, while only you can write
# Install the webdav (if selected service)
# Look at the mailinglist
#* BTW: When the project is called "example", the according maillinglist where you can reach all other members is "example@lab9.sselab.de"

=Mailing List=

You want to send an email to all project members (and managers)?


[[File:choose.png|center|frame|Choose Mailing List in Services List on Overview Page]]


* Click on 'Mailing List' on the project's overview page  in the services List



[[File:clickmailinglist.png|center|frame|Mailto: Mailing List of the Project]]


If you have a standard email program an empty new email to all members of the project will open. If you haven't, just copy the email adress, open an email and paste the adress into the adress field.

= Wikis =

Its simple:

# browse the project, 
# click on "MediaWiki (internal)"
# and you are looking at the wiki. Its a mediawiki -- same syntax, same features.

This is just an abstrct overview -- see [http:/XXX here for more]:
* To edit full page: click "Edit" on the left side
* To edit a section: click "[edit]" on the right side
* When the page is important and you want to be informed by email of any change: click "Watch"
=== Some syntax:===
'''bold text''' -  <nowiki>'''bold text'''</nowiki>


''italic text'' -  <nowiki>''italic text''</nowiki>


* list element - <nowiki>* list element</nowiki>
* list element - <nowiki>* list element</nowiki>


# numbered list element -  <nowiki># numbered list element</nowiki>
# numbered list element -  <nowiki># numbered list element</nowiki>
# numbered list element -  <nowiki># numbered list element</nowiki>


[[File:Example.jpg]] - <nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg]]</nowiki>

By clicking on the new link you open the file upload dialog. Just try it, when you need to insert a picture. You will see, it is very easy.


[http://www.example.com link title] - <nowiki>[http://www.example.com link title]</nowiki>

An Hyperlink to the specified url (here 'http://www.example.com' which appears to the reader of the wiki article as 'link title' ).

== Headline 2 ==
<nowiki>== Headline 2 ==</nowiki>

= Headline 1 =   
<nowiki>= Headline 1 =</nowiki>

This is can be used to create a subpage as well. You can Insert a new Headline and save the actual edited page. Then your new Headline is a Link which leads to a new yet empty (sub)page.

= Version Control (Subversion) =

Subversion is a relatively mighty and therefore also complex technique to concurrently work on files. When people really work on shared files concurrently, it's important to have versioning available: subversion does this! And to manage conflicts in concurrent changes: subversion does this too! (When a conflict arises or you want an older version you need a deeper understanding or have to ask. E..g. have a look here. For simple cases:

# You need to install a local subversion client. You may choose. XXX is quite good, but Eclipse plugin also helps.
# Please install your svn-client 
# Checkout the files using the name and password of your sselab-account.
# Then you are ready to operate.

As an alternative for read only access: 
# browse the project, 
# click on "Subversion" 
# and you have webaccess to the current(!) revision (!no changes!).
