Publishing on the LFCS web site

The LFCS web site is only as useful as the information it contains, and that in turn depends on LFCS members contributing material and helping to keep it up to date. The LFCS webmaster is resposible for keeping a reasonably structured tree, and maintaining some of the core elements, but much of the detail depends upon you.

Please consider whether any web pages you are currently maintaining would be most sensibly hosted on the lab server. Is there any other information you would like to see put on the site? Can you provide it?

What can I put on the LFCS site?

Pages describing seminar series, clubs, colloquia; forthcoming meetings or conferences; software packages, Euro-projects or anything else that you think counts as an LFCS activity. You may also want to correct information on existing pages, or add detail.

What do I need to do?

Get an author account on the divisional web server, through the online request form. Read some notes on the informatics server. Contact postgraduate assistant, to discuss what you want to put on and where you think it should go.

If you already have some material elsewhere that you would like to publicise with an LFCS address, we can arrange redirection to give a URL of the form http://www.lfcs.ed.ac.uk/your-name-here.

Ready to edit a page?

The rough guide on the school site explain many things. However, LFCS website is a bit different and therefore you need to CAREFULLY read the LFCS specific guide.

There is a web interface available to browse the CVS repository; this shows a history of who changed what when, and can highlight the differences between successive page revisions.
