This wiki page is a portal for CS137 students to access documents that help them work better in the class, including HOWTOs and documentation about CavePainting. All registered users can edit pages on a wiki like ours, so please sign up using the link in the upper right so that you can share information with your fellow classmates.

The course webpage contains all official due dates and course information; the content of the wiki is supplementary and is mostly just documentation for the software we use.

HOWTOs

Cave Calendar

The official calendar for the Cave, for people who have formally reserved the space for classes or demos, is online for you to look at. Please check it before planning to use the Cave to make sure that nobody else has dibs.

For our own purposes, we maintain a Google calendar, which is displayed in read-only form below. If it gives you a permission error, please make sure you're logged into your Google account.

On this page, you can only look at reservations other people have already made. In order to make your own reservation, log in to Google Calendar and create an event (no more than two hours long, please) with your name as the title. Please don't change anyone else's resrvations!
