This document provides guidance in what changes to make in a new
Europa project web page (highlighted areas below) and the
text found in the “README new project” file.
Directions for creating a new project webpage directory:
All project homepages should be kept in a subdirectory of:
/n/gold/6/long/europa/WWW/projects/
When starting a new project, go to WWW/projects and look at the file "project_index.txt". This text file contains a list of all projects past and current. A four-digit number is associated with each project. Select the next consecutive number at the bottom of the list and enter the number and the name of your project on that line. This will be your project id number.
Next create a subdirectory in WWW/projects with your project id number. This will be your (and your group's) project *webpage* directory. The UNIX commands for this are:
mkdir your_new_project_id#
Now copy the file "/n/gold/6/long/europa/WWW/projects/0000/index.html" to your new project directory. The UNIX commands for this are:
cd your_new_project_id#
cp ../0000/index.html index.html
Be sure to set the project directory and project homepage permissions using the following commands:
cd ..
chmod -R g=rX,o=rX your_new_project_id#
where "your_new_project_id#" is the four-digit name of your project directory.
Be sure to let the Europa Webmaster know when a link to your page is ready to be added to the list of current projects.
The index.html file you just copied is a generic project homepage;
fill in the appropriate areas to customize it for your own project homepage. The areas to be customized are highlighted in red below.

What is the project about? Why is it important?
</UL>
<A NAME="calendar"></A><HR><H2>Calendar:</H2>

Document dates and content of project meetings and presentations.

While the project is active, describe what problems or decisions you
encountered. Document your approach and mistakes you may have made. When
the project is finished, preserve this section to document what you did.
Projects will be indexed as design projects, or implementation projects,
or testing projects, etc. Look at the Europa homepage for the various
indexing categories. Many projects will fall into several categories.
When appropriate, divide this section into the subsections that treat each
of the relevant categories involved in your project.
</UL>
<A NAME="findings"></A><HR><H2>Findings and Contributions:</H2>
<UL>
When the project is finished, report your findings. What contributions
did this project make to the state of the art or the state of knowledge
in CIS? What needs did the project satisfy? This would also be a good
place to state any future projects related to this one, or that grew
out of this one. If the project was abandoned, document why.
</UL>
<A NAME="references"></A><HR><H2>Links and References:</H2>
<UL>
This section may not be relevant to all projects, but it can be flexible.
For implementation projects, for instance, this section could include a
link to the component as it appears in the RESOLVE catalog.
