How to Document
Go to Using Wiki for the new and improved information on how to use mediawiki (See also: Tutorial, Syntax list). Be sure to log in with a username when editing things. Or go play in the Sandbox. No throwing sand ...
If you have any questions which are not answered by the Using Wiki page then feel free to email one of the Wiki sysops or (preferably) post your question here on the FAQ or WikiFAQ so that others may partake of the brilliant wisdom with which we answer your questions.
TIP OF THE DAY: When uploading non-image files, make sure to use Media:, not Image: (that way the link will actually look like a link and not a broken image box).

Mailing Lists
We use mailman to maintain a number of mailing lists for use by the project. If you would like to have a new list created for use by your team, see the instructions on the system adminstration page.
- http://grandchallenge.caltech.edu/mailman/listinfo: All mailing lists.
- team-students: project announcements, events, meeting agendas. Everyone actively working on the project should be on this list.
- team-volunteers: major project announcements and events. Intended for volunteers who want a lower volume of e-mail; moderated list.
- sysadmin: administration of grandchallenge and the race computers. Everyone with root permission on grandchallenge should be part of this list.
Checklists
We have checklists for most of the major items that we need to keep track of for operating the vehicle. We probably should put this in the Bob User's Manual (BUM), but for now I am linking them here.

The Command
The following command works to check out the repository as the current user, assuming that it has been installed (from dgc/local/scripts) on the current machine. Note that a checkout is about 10X faster on the NFS server (skynet2 or grandchallenge) versus NFS clients.
user@machine$ sco trunk dgc user@machine$ sco Usage: sco path name This will run the following command: svn co svn+ssh://gc.caltech.edu/dgc/subversion/dgc/path name
The Other Command
Put this in your ~/.bashrc. It asssumes that you name your repository copy "dgc", as above.
[ -f $HOME/dgc/local/files/dgc.bashrc ] && source $HOME/dgc/local/files/dgc.bashrc
Please note that once you have done this, you will have to source the bashrc in *your current terminal* AND *all* other terminals which are *currently open* in order for the changes to take effect, if you create new terminals after having sourced in one of the ones that was open prior to when sourced, the new terminals will already be sourced and everything will be groovy :), the command for sourcing is:
. ~/.bashrc
If you have done this and your .bashrc file is not being sourced, then you may need to put the following in your ~/.profile (which you may need to create):
[ -f $HOME/.bashrc ] && source $HOME/.bashrc
