Preparation

What can I read or install to pepare for the tutorial?

• if you are not familiar with source authoring, such as TeX or programming fom source, it’d be time to do so. Maybe a good TeX tutorial is a good idea, maybe try to learn to author HTML pages.
• make sure you are using the latest Firefox browser (1.5 or 2.0), a Java version 1.5 (or 1.4 or Macs), and a Subversion client (see subversion clients)
• for some reading and reference material, please see the previous edition for now.
