How do I join a group?
John Reekie, 12 Sep 1999

To join a group, go to your memberships page and scroll down to the section labelled "Request membership in a group". Use the form, following the links on that page to additional help information is needed. You can become a Member of the group, which will put you on the group's mailing lists and give you write access to the group's workspace. You can also become a Guest of the group, which will generally (but not always -- it depends on the group configuration) allow you to read restricted pages belonging to the group, but you will not be on the mailing lists or be able to modify those pages.

If you merely wish to keep updated on the goings on in a group but are not actively participating, you should not join the group, but instead subscribe to that group's public "interest" mailing list. Go to the home page for that group (from the Workspaces page) and click on the Mail below the GSRC banner. If the group has a public interest list, you will see a link called, for example, diva-interest -- follow the link to get to a page where you can subscribe to the mailing list.
