DCN RESOURCE ALLOCATION COMMITTEE
(RAC)
SPONSORED-PROJECTS' HELP
SHEET
To Launch your RAC Sponsored
Project - If you have been authorized the use of a DCN Simple
Site, a Mailman List, a Calendar, or a forum you must contact the DCN
Web Team chair, Steve McMahon at msmosaic@dcn.org. These resources are
all set up for you by the Web team.
If you have been authorized to use a DCN shell or dialup account you need to call Omsoft (see above), give them the name of your Project (as approved by the RAC) and explain what resources you have been authorized to use. Omsoft will set up the appropriate DCN accounts with the username(s) and password(s) that you provide. (Note: DCN's goal for your project is to get you started so that you will eventually succeed on your own.) Web Team Help – This is
provided in several ways. Team leaders and other project participants
may contact the Web Team Chair to:
a) ask a specific question
b) arrange to attend a Web Team meeting
at which they can ask their questions or talk over their needs or
problems.
E- Mailing List – DCN
offers "Mailman" Lists.
This List service (used by groups for announcements or discussions) is provided by DCN using special software that is resident on the DCN's server - not on your computer. This software maintains a list of email addresses that it obtains from you and/or from people who 'subscribe' their names to the List. Your List has its own email address and messages sent to that address go automatically to everyone on the List. Your List can be set up in a variety of useful ways to suit your group's needs: a) one person - the 'owner' can be the
only person authorized to subscribe (add) or unsubscribe (delete)
addresses;
b) or, people can add or delete their own names (but nobody else's); c) a special, welcoming and informational
message can be sent automatically to everyone who 'subscribes';
d) an automatic footer explaining about
the List can be attached to every message; e) ... and more!
Training - Contact
admin@dcn.org or 750-1170; or Anne Hance rahance@dcn.org or
753-7265
DCN can arrange for group training
sessions to help you and your colleagues to understand the technology
that you are planning to use, and to create web pages.
DCN's goal is always to get you
started. In this case (training) the goal is the same as
for the project program overall; DCN gives you a push start and you
race off on your own probably returning to DCN one way or another as
you need additional help. Sometimes that help might be on the DCN Web,
at other times it will have to be provided personally by a web team
member or other DCN volunteer.
ALMOST ANYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW CAN
BE FOUND ON THE WEB
