If you aren't already logged into this wiki, there will be a little red "Register" link on the upper right of this page.

Click that and follow the instructions below.

 1. Fill out ''all'' the fields, even if they are marked 'Optional'.
 1. Use a username that does not contain spaces.  For example, '!JohnSmith' is OK, but 'John Smith' is not.^[#Footnotes 1]^
 1. Your username should also not be an email address.^[#Footnotes 1]^
 1. For your email address, use an institutional address, ''e.g.'', {{{john.smith@nyu.edu}}} or {{{jjsmith@lbl.gov}}}.  Do not use Gmail, Yahoo, etc.
 1. Please give us your full name. It is OK to use accented characters in your full name, if that's how you spell it, ''e.g.'', Jôhn Smíth.  Just use UTF-8 characters though.


Note that registration is limited to members of the DESI collaboration and that your request will go via a human for verification, so there will be a short delay from the request to when you actually get access.

 1. Some non-alphanumeric characters (and ''especially'' spaces and '@' symbols) will cause problems with other systems linked to your Trac account, such as svn.
