Our sysadmins created a number of TRAC wikis for us, to be used for the team projects. I want you to use them mostly for the project documentation, but you can also use their SVN functionality as a code repository. On Tuesday, we’ll assign the team numbers, and I’ll add one team member to the wiki. This person then can add the rest of the team. If you can’t wait until Tuesday, send me an email, and I’ll do it earlier. Please include your section (morning or afternoon) and the project title in that email.

My strong preference is for all teams to use the TRAC Wiki, at least for the documentation. This is mainly for two reasons: Persistence (documents on your personal Cal Poly Web page, for example, will disappear when you graduate), and consistency, which makes it easier for me to find a particular piece of documentation. If you have a good argument for using something else, I’m open to it, but please discuss it with me first.

For each team wiki, I've created a group "Members" with SVN_READ, SVN_WRITE and TRAC_ADMIN privileges.
To add your team members to the wiki, do the following:

• go to the Wiki
• login with your CSC login information (login name, password)
• go the the "Admin" page by clicking on the "Admin" tab , and then "Permissions" in the list on the left.
• enter their login names one by one in the "Add Subject to Group" area to add them to the "Members" group

If you want to exercise tighter controls, you can also create different groups with restricted privileges, and assign them to those groups.
