Introduction to HRIWeb
Welcome to HRIWeb.org!
This article is for you if you're not really sure where to get started. We have several ways to help collaboration, and this article will help explain the different things you can do on the site.
The navigation bar on the left provides useful links to the main parts of the site. These links will take you to the Forums, our cross-disciplinary Glossary page, the Interdisciplinary Issues section of the website, and a few other things. To begin, there are four different items you should know about:
- Manage Mailing Lists
- Community Calendar
- Paper Database
- my account
Manage Mailing Lists: Using these tools, you can subscribe to the HRIWeb mailing lists-- hriweb and hriweb-announce. The hriweb mailing list is meant as a discussion list for both the website and research issues, and may be high traffic. Hriweb-announce, on the other hand, is fairly low traffic as it is reserved for conference announcements, site news, job opportunities, and other items.
Community Calendar: Upcoming conferences and events are listed on the calendar; the next several events are also listed on the front page.
Paper Database: The HRIWeb paper database is linked through this page. Anyone (registered with the site) can upload (or download) bibtex entries to the database, and help make fixes to existing entries.
my account: This links to your account settings; you can make changes to the information you registered with, track content you have created, and change your password here.
There's one more thing you should know about: the Create Content menu. When you want to create a new blog entry, event for the calendar, add a glossary entry, create a new page or article, this is where you want to go. Blog entries will show up on the blog listing. Articles can be promoted to the front page. Static pages are a useful way to help build new site content, which you can then submit to one of the site administrators.
There's also the Create Group entry. This will allow you to create a separate user group, providing a forum, and restricted-access pages/blogs for people who you're collaborating with.
That's the short introduction-- be sure to check out the forums and the blogs as well! Enjoy the site.

Site news: February 15
The hriweb.org domain has been set up properly now, so the site can now be accessed as hriweb.org or www.hriweb.org. We've switched the Drupal install to be the main site, but the wiki is still around.
Since the Drupal biblio module isn't very good, we're setting up Aigaion for the paper database. It may take a few tries to get it to authenticate off the main site, but it will be worth it.
Site news, November 16
The basic site layout is ready to go. We're still short a paper database, and there is not yet a software page. The paper database is a bit of a problem, as I am not happy with the biblio Drupal module. The software page is easy, at least. Still waiting to get the domain sorted out.
