A participant can join a second and subsequent projects as follows.
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Visit the second project's web site and create an account.
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Receive an email containing an account ID (a long random string).
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Visit the original project's web site
|
|
|
|
|
and log in to the original account.
|
|
|
|
|
Click on Edit Preferences.
|
|
|
|
|
Click on Add Project.
|
|
|
|
|
Enter the URL of the second projects,
|
|
|
|
|
and the new account ID.
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Enter resource shares for each of the projects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This procedure adds the new project to the participant's preferences,
|
|
|
|
|
which will be propagated to all the participant's hosts.
|
|
|
|
|
There is therefore no need to perform any manual operation
|
|
|
|
|
on all of the hosts.

<h3>Maintaining consistent preferences</h3>

|
If a participant joins multiple project,
|
|
|
|
|
his/her preferences will be propagated to all the projects,
|
|
|
|
|
and can be edited on the web sites of any project.
|
|
|
|
|
Propagation may take several hours or days.
|
|
|
|
|
If preferences are edited at one project,
|
|
|
|
|
then edited soon thereafter at another project,
|
|
|
|
|
the first edits may be overwritten and lost.
|
|
|
|
|
This can be avoided by only editing preferences at one project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Some projects may provide a web interface
|
|
|
|
|
for editing their project-specific preferences.
|
|
|
|
|
In this case it may be necessary to edit preferences at different sites.
|
|
|
|
|
To avoid overwriting edits,
|
|
|
|
|
wait until previous edits have propagated to a site
|
|
|
|
|
before editing preferences there.
