---+ Registration
Viewing pages requires no registration. To *edit* pages on the UAI Wiki, you must have a registered user name and password.  

Due to a recent aggressive spam attack the registration process is a two step process.
<ol><li>Enter your name and password in the form below
<li>Send an email to the [[Main.ContactTheAdministrator][the administrator]] and convince them you are a human rather than a computer program (don't worry, this Turing test requires only a coherent sentence or two). Be sure to include your wiki user name so they can confirm you. 
</ol>

The admin will add your user id <verbatim>Main.YourWikiName</verbatim> to the user group [[Main.RealMembersGroup]] so that you can log in and edit pages. Any validated user can do this for another user, so as long we don't let a spammer in people can validate their own colleagues and friends.


Use these tools if you need to [[ChangePasswords][change your password]] or 
[[ResetPasswords][reset your password]] if you've forgotten it.


If you see a user who is clearly an autogenerated SPAM account feel free to add them to [[Main.SpamGroup]] so they cannot add links to our website. 

---++ Getting Started
Once you are given edit access by the [[Main.ContactTheAdministrator][Administrator]] or another wiki user you will want first go to update two important pages
<ul><li>The form below will create a user page for your id at !Main.YourWikiName. You can find recent changes to the wiki, including the creation of your user page, at [[http://uai.cs.ubc.ca/cgi-bin/twiki/changes/Main][Changes]].  This
page can include whatever information about you and your research that you wish to publish.
<li>[[Main.UAIPeople][UAIPeople]] is a formatted list of the UAI community. Enter you name up here and link it to your personal website or wiki page.
<li>After that you can edit any page on the wiki you like to create a useful resource for the UAI community.
</ul>
