Background and reference

External resources

Links to Raven documents and resources outside this Wiki.

• User documentation about Raven is available at https://help.uis.cam.ac.uk/service/accounts-passwords/it-staff/raven/
• Resources provided by University Information Services as part of Raven are documented at http://raven.cam.ac.uk/project/
• The Raven public keys are available in the keys directory
• Two Raven mailing lists are available:
  • cs-raven-announce which carries announcements about the Raven service
  • cs-raven-discuss for discussing use and development of software that interacts with Raven, and of general issues arising from its use.

• Anyone administering a Raven-using server or developing Raven-related software is welcome to contact UIS Raven administrators at raven-support@ucs.cam.ac.uk with queries or comments. However, consider sending Raven-related messages to the cs-raven-discuss mailing list instead. Sending messages to the list allows others to benefit from any discussion and may spark additional ideas. The Raven administrators are members of this list.

• Users with Raven-related problems should normally contact the administrators of the relevant Raven-protected service in the first instance. Failing that they should contact the UIS Service Desk (servicedesk@uis.cam.ac.uk).
