QUICK UPDATE GUIDE:
===================

1.- Create, on a piece of paper, the entry name for you document. The
entry name format is as follows:

        Lastname:YEAR:3_LETTER_ACRONYM

For example, for the paper 'Information Visualization and Visual Data
Mining' by Daniel A. Keim, published in 2002, the VISWEB entry file
would be named:

        Keim:2002:IVA

The acronym uses the first 3 words, whatever they are (even numbers).

----------------------------------------------------------

2.- To add a publication run:

FOR AN INTERNAL PUBLICATION: addviswebpub <entry-name> <list-filename>
FOR A NON_BROWN PUBLICATION: addviswebbib <entry-name> <list-filename>

<list-filename> can be found in /map/gfx0/common/visweb/lists

(NOTE on possible ERROR messages: If it gives an error run
/map/gfx0/tools/shared/bin/viswebupdate. Follow the instructions to
setup the needed 'gfxtools' environment variables. Email me
daf@cs.brown.edu if you have trouble. YOU NEED TO DO THIS BEFORE
PROCEEDING FARTHER.)

(If it asks for confirmation to overwrite a file, that means someone
else already created the entry. Respond NO (or 'n') to avoid
overwritting and proceed with step 3)

----------------------------------------------------------

3.- Open, in emacs or any other editor, the file named:

/map/gfx0/common/visweb/pubs/<entry-name>
or
/map/gfx0/common/visweb/bib/<entry-name>

----------------------------------------------------------

4.- Modify the first 4 fields:DOCTYPE, ADDED-BY, DATE-ADDED, STATUS
and YEAR, following the examples provided.

DOCTYPE should be one of the following:

article 
book 
booklet 
conference 
inbook 
incollection 
inproceedings 
manual 
mastersthesis 
misc 
phdthesis 
proceedings 
techreport 
unpublished 

(use 'misc' if you don't know)

STATUS should be one of the following:

published
inreview
inpress
unpublished
unknown

Fill out the rest of the fields depending upon what you know about
the document. You don't need to fill them all out.

You can fill in the THEME field with one or more (separated by 'and')
of the following:

vr
medicine
natural
perception
tech
art

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure not to leave any blank spaces at the end of
the THEME or PROJECT entries.

The explanation for each on of this can be found in 
http://www.cs.brown.edu/research/vis/lists/themes.html

----------------------------------------------------------

5.- If you have a pdf file for the document, run:

addviswebpdf <pdf-file-name> <entry-name>

Use 'addviswebps', 'addviswebppt', 'addviswebtxt', 'addviswebdoc',
etc. for any other file types.

----------------------------------------------------------

6.- Run viswebupdate.

----------------------------------------------------------

You are all set. Your new entry will be in
http://www.cs.brown.edu/research/vis/lists/home.html in the list you
added it to.


Enjoy!
