   42 <h1>Arusha Project: user guides</h1>
   43 
   44 This is an index of the various pieces of Arusha Project (ARK)
   45 documentation that might answer to the name ``user guide''
   46 (you know, when you want to <em>do</em> something, not just
   47 <em>think</em> something...)

   51 <h2>Checking out the Arusha Project (ARK)</h2>
   52 
   53 <a href="try-ark1.html">Trying out ARK, `sample1'-style</a>.
   54 This is a step-by-step guide for doing an ARK experiment in
   55 your home directory.  (That's a pale shadow of the real
   56 thing, but could start you on the ARK road...)
   57 <p>

   60 <h2><a name="paradise">Creating a Sidai-style ARK paradise</a></h2>
   61 
   62 Let's imagine you have a set of unused machines onto with
   63 which you want to build a full-blown `<a
   64 href="index-sidai.html">Sidai</a>'-style ARK world.
   65 For this, we supply a <a
   66 href="sidai-ark-strategy.html">Sidai ARK strategy</a> document.
   67 <p>

   70 <h2>Using a Sidai-style ARK paradise</h2>
   71 
   72 The <a href="index-sidai.html">Sidai team</a> is a
   73 large-and-getting-larger accumulation of How
   74 To Do Stuff.  (But by no means the <em>only</em> way to do
   75 these things.)
   76 <p>
   77 It provides <a href="glossary.html#proto-thing">proto-things</a>
   78 from which other ARK things can inherit attributes or methods.
   79 <p>
   80 It provides simple tools in its own right.  An example might
   81 be the <a href="sidai-user-setup.html">Sidai ``user
   82 setup''</a>, with which all of your users can have a common
   83 <tt>.profile</tt>, <tt>.cshrc</tt>, etc., that can be
   84 personalized, site-customized, but otherwise is the same
   85 world-wide.
   86 <p>
   87 It provides notes about stuff we did with commonly-used
   88 software, both freeware and commercial (e.g. Mailman and
   89 ClearCase).
   90 <p>
   91 In all cases, please see <a href="index-sidai.html">the team
   92 page</a>.
