You have been invited to the sselab and no idea what this means?

You probably shall share some documents within a team and come to an integrated final dosument easily (--> version control) or shall collect thoughts, ideas, problems etc. (--> wiki). Simple storage like Dropbox is also aviable. Lets forget about all the other services for now and lets handle this:

  1. You need to make an account.
    • Having an account simplifies access when using multiple projects. All services and projects can be managed with one account (and password).
    1. You got an email: click the link in that email.
    2. Enter some personal data, it is really helpful to use your surename as login (or another name that identifies you to the other team members)
    3. ... (XXX what next?)
  2. You know have the account and are member of the project.

What next?

You can

  1. Browse the projects services
  2. Checkout svn (if it is a selected service)
  3. Look at the internal and external wikis (if selected services)
    • Note that the external wiki is globally visible, while only you can write
  4. Install the webdav (if selected service)
  5. Look at the mailinglist
    • BTW: When the project is called "bla", the according maillinglist where you can reach all othe members is "bla@XXX"

Subversion

Subversion is a relatively mighty and therefore also complex technique to concurrently work on files. When people really work on share 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:

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

As an alternative for read only access:

  1. browse the project,
  2. click on "Subversion"
  3. (optional, first time only): enter your access data and password
  4. and you have webaccess to the current(!) revision (!no changes!).

Wikis

Its simple:

  1. browse the project,
  2. click on "MediaWiki (internal)"
  3. (optional, first time only): enter your access data and password
  4. and you are looking at the wiki. Its a mediawiki -- same syntax, same features.
  5. This is just an overview:
    • To edit full page: click "Edit" on the left
    • To edit a section: click "[edit]" on the right
