	~~get someone to make~~ username~~, passwd~~		You'll be given a username and password when you take any CS class. That will open the Lovelace computers to you.
	* ACL's
	* proto (going away)
	* new-proto (will ~~eventually become proto)~~

	~~== Projects==~~
	~~Check [[HIP]] for up-~~to~~-date project listings~~.

	~~== Communication ==~~		In an applied group you will also be given access to a range of servers. Again this will vary by role.

	=== Group ===		== Group Communication ==
	* ~~we use~~ a listserv~~, hip@cs.earlham~~.~~edu~~		* Most groups have a listserv.
	* ~~notify~~ the group about significant progress via listserv or in meetings		* Notify the group about significant progress via listserv or in meetings.
	* ~~questions can be asked via listserv~~		* Regular meeting notes are kept in Drive and generally shouldn't go here. Add meeting notes only if they are relevant to project completion.
	* google drive is used frequently

	=== Meetings ===		== Meetings ==
	* ~~Friday in the Green Zone for lunch (12-1pm)~~		* Regular group meetings will be scheduled. Typically they take place once a week at a lunchtime.
	** general discussion about current and future projects		* Your group may also meet for a collaborative project work once a week if desired.
	** bring-your-own-lunch style

	* Sunday on the roof (1-3pm)		== Documentation ==
	** working together in the same space		Documentation can be overdone but is important. If we don't know a project's current state, replicating or reproducing it can consume a lot of work cycles. This isn't valuable.

	~~=== Documentation ===~~		So please at least keep some basic notes and update the wiki occasionally. Faculty will do its part to remind you and keep up their/our share.
	~~Documentation is an important~~ part ~~of HIP because different people from different semesters will need~~ to ~~know about the work~~ you ~~did. It's also more efficient to point the curious here rather than to explain something multiple times~~.

	* document projects		Here are some guidelines:
	** inline code documentation helps readability		* Inline code documentation helps readability.
	** wiki articles are fast and helpful		* Wiki articles are fast and helpful, so it is our preferred method of long-term documentation.
	** ~~document changes~~ to ~~keep information relatively accurate~~		* If it's in a Drive Document and it's important, it should make its way here at some point.
			* Please be specific. If X is wonky, so a student comes to the wiki to learn about X, and they read "X is wonky", that's barely helpful. Be specific about issues, fixes that have been tried, alternatives chosen, etc.

	* document your work, process, or experience		=== Wiki Basics ===
	** your experience is invaluable to someone who is in a similar situation

	~~==== Wiki Basics ====~~		We'll get you a wiki account.

	* how to use		Some tips for how to use it:
	** you ~~need an account to be created by an admin; ask Charlie or Ivan~~		* use [[Wiki Syntax]], and look at the syntax of other pages if you're confused
	** if a page doesn't exist, search for it and the wiki will let you create that page		* use the "Show preview" button
			* if a page doesn't exist, search for it and the wiki will let you create that page
	** make sure to click "Save Page" after you're finished editing		** make sure to click "Save Page" after you're finished editing

	* how to learn		Styling tips:
	** edit pages to look at their syntax		* Having too many headers can be overkill.
	** use [[Wiki Syntax]]		* Lists are the simplest way to organize content.
			* Trim things down but be complete and specific.
