This document describes collaborative tools available to WormBase team members.

Accounts

To make it easier to collaborate as a team, WormBase utilizes a number of tools provided by Google, but all located under the wormbase.org domain.

This list includes a Docs, Mail, Calendar, Discussion lists, collaborative chat, and contact information for all team members.

With a you@wormbase.org account, you will automatically have access to core documents, contact information for all project members, and all tools mentioned above, as well as automatic privileges on the WormBase web site. Interested users can request an account from Todd. If you're not interested you can continue to use your existing account information with less seamless integration.

Groups (Mailing Lists)

WormBase uses a number of mailing lists for discussion. You can manage subscriptions yourself, post from the web, etc.

Creating your own discussion group

With your wormbase.org account, you can create your own groups, a perfect way to support new projects. By default discussion within a group is archived, a feature which can be disabled if desired. See the groups main page for details.
