      <p>
        Arctos Documentation and "How-to Guides" can be created or
        edited by anyone who is a member of the Arctos Working Group
        (see How to Use GitHub for Arctos). That team has "write" access
        to the ArctosDB/documentation-wiki repository in GitHub. Anyone
        can view the content, but you need to be added to the "Users"
        team by an ArctosDB administrator to make changes.
      </p>

      <p>
        Curators/Collection Managers who want the ability to create or
        edit Documentation and "How-to Guides" should contact
        dustymc@gmail.com, mkoo@berkeley.edu or ccicero@berkeley.edu to
        be added "Users" team. Attend a working group demo on how to edit the site.
        We encourage Curators/Collection Managers
        to engage students in writing "How-to Guides." However, students
        will not be able to post them to the wiki site; instead, they
        will need to submit the content to a member of the ArctosDB
        team (e.g., their supervisor) who can then post the
        content.
