Here is a quick how-to on initializing a new workspace:

1. Log in to the GSRC web site.
2. Follow the Admin link at the top right of the page. You will see your group in the left margin with a set of options. Under Admin, click on the Group Profile link and:
   1. Set the Group Title, One-Line Summary and Description.
   2. Set the Group Type to either Software Project, or Discussion Group. Note that if you do not select either one, then the new group will not appear in the main menu.
   3. Press the Change Group Profile button.
   Click on the Configure Group link at the left margin and:
   1. Select the "Is enabled" checkbox.
   2. Select the "Has members" and "Has administrator" checkboxes.
   3. Press the Change Group Configuration button.
   4. Choose other options and press the Change Group Configuration button For example, If you want a discussion forum, select the "Discussion forum" checkbox.
3. Click on the Group Members link in the left margin.
   Add any new members by using the combo box under Add a new member and then press Add Member for each new member.
4. If there are people you want to be in the group that do not have accounts on the GSRC web site, click on the Invite Members link in the left margin. Add their email addresses to the form and click on the Send Invitation button.
