Status of Babase Datasets
We will use this section to keep Babase users up to date on the latest additions and changes to the database. This should allow users to ask more informed questions of the database as well as allowing you to have a better idea of what results to expect. Any temporary unavailability or inaccuracies that may occur within Babase while work is being done will also be announced in this section.

Obtaining Wiki Access
Anybody can view the pages in this wiki. Anybody can make themselves a login, but having a login grants you no additional privliges. Only the users in the BabaseWikiAdminGroup can grant you access to edit this wiki. They do that by adding your name to the BabaseWikiEditorsGroup. If they want to they can read HelpOnAccessControlLists and make more groups and have finer control over who can do what. KarlPinc can reconfigure the wiki to support other security policies if we want to go there. When making yourself a login it is best to choose a WikiName (like FirstnameLastname) as username to get your changes and signatures link back to yourWikiHomepage. Make yourself a login by clicking the "Login" text in the far upper left of this page.
