Info for new group members
All new group members should follow the links below and read the information
carefully.
Chores
Every group member has a "chore" that Kieron assigns when you
join the group (like travel manager, librarian, web master, computer whiz, etc.). The current assignments can be found
here.
Meetings
Kieron has individual meetings with every group member, ideally once a
week. After each meeting you should make a plain text file that includes a
summary of what has been discussed. This way Kieron can keep track of everyones
projects. The file should be emailed to Kieron with the subject "INDMEET MM/DD/YY" and a printed copy brought to the next meeting.
Write up assignment
Three times a year you should write up your progress in the form of a
scientific paper. Specific rules for these write up assignments (and the
deadlines) can be foud here.
If you've already written a paper during the previous months
you can hand that in. Kieron will try to give comments on your writing soon
after you hand it in.
Working on a project and writing a paper
When you are working on a paper (or your write-up assignment) you should follow
these rules
More specific instructions for writing
a paper can be found here. Kieron's tips on paper writing can be found here.
All references used in papers are stored in the file refers.txt. Here you can find how this file is organized: how
to use refers.txt. You can only edit this file when Kieron tells you to,
never edit refers.txt without permission!
Email etiquette
If you send an email to Kieron make sure the subject of the email is
descriptive. So if the subject of the email changes in an email
conversation, don't just reply but change the subject as well. This
makes it easier to find emails at a later point in
time.Any attachments should be put into the relevant
directory in the pbe group account and the full path given in
the email.
