We will create one "wizard" account that can perform administrative tasks. Any administrator may perform the tasks below. If something not on the list needs to be done, we should get the consensus of the entire group before proceeding.

Create Players

Each player should have only one account -- including administrators. Accounts should only be used by one person.

@make-player username email@address

System will prompt to ask if email should be sent -- type yes

Transform player to programmer

Once a player has set a description and a gender, they can be made a programmer

@programmer username

Add quota

Programmers do not automatically receive quota. Check to see what their quota is first.

@quota username

@quota username is 300000

The system will ask you to supply a reason for increasing the quota.

Change password

If someone has forgotten their password, the safest thing to do is let the system generate a new random password and send it via email.

@new-password username

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work -- I'll try to get this working. In the meantime, you have to set the password manually, something like this

;#231.password = crypt("password")

Here is a link for documentation for being a wizard.

Here is the link for yib's pet rock -- a great manual for learning how to program.
