Once there is a new RSG, web committee need to get in contact with them and set up an email forwarder and a website. This wiki page will take you through this process.
The basic things are:
(1) Send an email to the chair and get a couple things from him/her: a. who he/she wants on the forwarder and b. if they have a website or want us to set up space for them (and in that case if they want the auto-install of WordPress).
(2) Once we hear back we set up the email and **very important** log into outbound_user and set up forwarding with only web@iscbsc.org on the list and click the confirm link. Then add who they want and send a test email that include instruction on how to send as the new email address. The email is always rsg-<something>@iscbsc.org (For example rsg-germany@iscbsc.org)
(3a) if they already have a website set up a forwarder on Dreamhost from rsg-<samething>.iscbsc.org to their site
(3b) if they want a site set up a hosted domain as rsg-<samething>.iscbsc.org with user rsg<thing> (no space or hyphen) and autgenerate a password (save that password). If they want wordpress its under "goodies" easy installs. Then send them the password. If they don't want WordPress you can put up the holding page (see http://rsg-ne-us.iscbsc.org/).
Sample email
Dear ABC,
Congrats on the new RSG. As you may or may not know the web team provides each RSG with an email forwarder as well as webspace and/or a subdomain forwarded to their own website. Your email forwarder would be rsg-ne-us@iscbsc.org and you can have it sent to whoever on your board you would like, most RSGs have the chair and vice chair. Your website address will be rsg-ne-us.iscbsc.org. If you have a website already thats great! We can set of a forwarder and link you into the website right away. If you do not have a site and would like one, we can set up the hosting for free for you and help you get started.
Again, congrats on the new RSG! Good luck!
Regards, XYZ
