Doc-db

Documents

Snowmass documents can be uploaded to arXiv (final versions of documents) and to doc-db (internal documents, proposals, white papers).

How to upload the documents

You need to have a Fermilab Services account for creating and modifying documents, not to read or download them. This is really a 5 min process. Instructions at Fermilab service account

I agree this looks complicated the first time, but after a couple it is mindless and it does let us collaborate on documents, preserve them, sort them into frontiers and topics, and have versions.

At

https://projects-docdb.fnal.gov/cgi-bin/sso/DocumentDatabase

  1. click the top link, '“Create or Change…”
  2. click “create a new”, top link. The number is there if you want to create a Word doc but also a PDF version for example. I routinely put the PDF of a LaTeX doc plus a tarball with all the files, so I would type 2 for number.
  3. Now you see a complicated looking page that's actually not bad. Title, abstract, ignore Keywords, notes, changes unless you want.
  4. Choose File: click that, and it will bring up your Finder, etc. and choose the file(s).
  5. Document type, doesn't much matter for us. If you are saving a talk, Meeting or Conference Presentation is probably right.
  6. Submitter/Author find your name
  7. can view: normally the very top one, “Public”. Anyone in the world can see it.
  8. can modify: just pick the last four
  9. topics: scroll down, find Snowmass, click the + sign as many times as you need to go down the hierarchy and pick a topic.
  10. then don't forget to “submit document” at the bottom

It will then tell you you've created some document with a number. You can mail this sort of link around: see “quick links, public version” that will bring you to a page with a URL like:

https://projects-docdb.fnal.gov/cgi-bin//ShowDocument?docid=6509

and anyone can get it. These can be linked to Indico and we can create conference material out of them. If you're familiar with doc-db, feel free to create meetings or do whatever else you like.
