Howto get access to the SVN repository
In order to setup an account on the SWARMS SVN repository - send to graspdoc@grasp.upenn.edu your desired user name and your password encrypted using the linux command htpasswd.
Your interaction with htpasswd should go something like:
% htpasswd -s -n username
New password: <type your password>
Re-type new password: <type your password again>
username:{SHA}C+7Hteo/D9vJXQ3UfzxbwnXaijM=
send the string you get in the end and you will be added to the repository members list.
To use the repository you need SVN, which is open-source control version software.
If you are using Windows, I recommend on the TortoiseSVN gui.
You can view the repository without checking it out, with your password and user name at: https://svn.cis.upenn.edu/svnroot/projectname
Use the same address for the svn checkout command.
What is Wiki?
Here are some useful pages installed along with the PmWiki software :
- What is the WikiWikiWeb?

- TipsForEditing and TextFormattingRules describe how to create pages in PmWiki.

Can I use LaTex?
Yes,it is easy to embed mathematical formulas in wiki pages using the LaTeX math expression syntax.
The markup {$ and $} can be used to embed a formula in a wiki page. For example, the markup:
{$ x^2 + y^2 = z^2 $}
produces: x^2 + y^2 = z^2
