<p>These "Help" documents have been designed with the aim of answering any and all questions you might have related to this site. We can begin with basics:  Who is a "registered user"? You are, because you have access to this site and you are reading this document.

<p>In general, this site is designed to facilitate developer-instigated projects by providing development tools and resources. Registered users then join the community working on those projects that appeal most to them. Developers must then craft projects that not only will be approved by the site administrators, but also be appealing enough to attract users. As a result of this dynamic, the projects hosted on this site created by "project owners" (those developers who are leading approved, active projects) will be interesting and worthwhile to other developers. </p>
a29 1
<p>This same dynamic in turn governs individual project administration: Project Owners determine each project's direction and membership either directly or indirectly. Indirectly, Project Owners may present information on their project home pages in such a way as to attract certain kinds developers; directly, in that project owners might invite specific developers to join the project or, quite often, review requests for membership from the developer community. Either way, the upshot is that to join a project, you must request membership and receive the Project Owner's approval.

<p>In general, this site is designed to facilitate developer-instigated projects by providing development tools and resources. Registered users then join the community working on those projects that appeal most to them. Developers must then craft projects that not only will be approved by the site administrators, but also be appealing enough to attract users. As a result of this dynamic, the projects hosted on this site created by "project owners" (those developers who are leading approved, active projects) will be interesting and worthwhile to other developers. </p>

<p>This same dynamic in turn governs individual project administration: Project Owners determine each project's direction and membership either directly or indirectly. Indirectly, Project Owners may present information on their project home pages in such a way as to attract certain kinds developers; directly, in that project owners might invite specific developers to join the project or, quite often, review requests for membership from the developer community. Either way, the upshot is that to join a project, you must request membership and receive the Project Owner's approval.
