Documentation for the [http://www.einsteintoolkit.org Einstein Toolkit] is a community effort and everyone is encouraged to contribute towards these pages. You need to login to the wiki to edit the documentation, to do this either

* if you already have a personal LDAP login with the CCT use this 
* create you own login/password for the wiki (select local domain)

If you would like to make major changes to these pages please discuss first on the users@einsteintoolkit.org mail list. 

Thanks for your contributions!

== Weekly Users Call ==
&lt;!--There will be &#039;&#039;&#039;no Einstein Toolkit call&#039;&#039;&#039; until Thu, Jan 10th 2019&lt;br/&gt;--&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Each week Thursday 9:00am US central time&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The link for the call is: https://lsu.zoom.us/j/631356683&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The next call&#039;s [[meeting_agenda|meeting agenda]] is on this wiki too.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

== Einstein Toolkit Working Groups and Development Teams ==

The idea of establishing working groups for the Einstein Toolkit was discussed at the Summer 2017 Workshop at NCSA, and is now being implemented. The initial [[ET Working Group Policies and Procedures]] document has been discussed and approved. New working groups should be proposed using the [[Working Group Template]].

&#039;&#039;&#039;Planned Groups&#039;&#039;&#039;:

* [[Working List of ET Groups]]

==Einstein Toolkit Seminars==

It would be nice to organize a semi-regular series of talks with topics of general interest. This should include
not only people from within the Einstein Toolkit. The ET web page already contains a (currently quite short)
[http://einsteintoolkit.org/seminars/ list], and now it is time to propose upcoming talks. In order to record and
story voiced proposals, please use the wiki page [[Einstein Toolkit Seminar Proposals]].
