A userid on axiom-developer.org is only necessary if you want to set up your own (virtual) website on axiom-developer.org or to use the axiom-developer.org server to do development. But it isn't necessary just to upload files - that is exactly what the Axiom Portal site is for. Using the portal is much easier than creating a new web site from scratch. But if any Axiom developer wants to set up their own website, I'm all for that too. To use the Axiom portal for uploading files, just log in to http://portal.axiom-developer.org using the user id and password that you chose when you registered. If you haven't already registered yet then just click 'join' and chose a new user id and password. After logging in, click on 'my folder' and then 'add a new item'. For pdf and dvi files choose the type 'file'. Click 'Browse...' and select the file on your local system that you want to upload. Click 'Open', fill in a title, and a description and hit 'Save'. That's all there is to it. Very easy. Anybody can do it. There's a lot more you can do with the Axiom Portal but you don't have to learn it all right away. And I would be very pleased to answer any questions you have about it. Right now, in spite of the fact that nearly 70 people have registered to use the Axiom Portal web site, I think it's potential still remains quite under utilized. If for some reason you prefer to work on the Axiom Wiki site instead of the portal, then it is also very easy to upload files there. Click 'edit' and look for the 'Upload' box at the bottom of the page. Use 'Browse...' the same way as on the portal. For working files and experiments related to Units on Axiom you can use the page: http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/SandBoxUnitsAndDimensions Because it is SandBox, no email notices of changes to the page will be broadcast to the list. Once you have something you want to make permanent and advertise it to others you can do exactly the same thing with the page: http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/UnitsAndDimensions Changes made here (including uploaded files) *will* generate notices to the axiom-developer email list.
