Category:HOWTO

This category contains pages describing step-by-step procedures for getting common tasks done. There are a number of tasks that just about every researcher in our group has to do at least once. Choosing a project, writing software and papers, presenting your work, finding a job: all of these tasks are easier with a little guidance. Each HOWTO is an article devoted to a single task and describes in plain language the best way to accomplish it. Keep in mind that the audience for a HOWTO is a complete beginner; the reason someone is reading the article is because they don't know what they're doing. Any document that meets this description belongs in this category.

To add a page to this category, include the code [[Category:HOWTO]] somewhere in its source code, preferably at the bottom.
