W3C Unix Collaborator Accounts

Nota Bene: This document is maintained for informational purposes only. All account requests should be processed using the Account Request Form.

Note: Jigedit (saving files via HTTP PUT) is the preferred way to edit files on our web site (and on the rest of the Web, for that matter!)

W3C provides Unix shell accounts to collaborators who need access to a Unix shell for some reason, for example to generate specifications from source documents using Unix utilities and scripts. Any request for a Unix account must be accompanied by sufficient justification. (i.e., the facilities you need that are not provided by Jigedit.)

Unix accounts need to be requested through your W3C staff contact. These accounts must not be shared under any circumstance.

• Requesting a Unix account
• Using W3C Unix guest accounts
• Using JigEdit to publish in W3C's web site
