 == Getting a Trac/SVN Userid ==
 
-Trac userids can be had on request by sending email to [mailto:boost-owner-AT-lists.boost.org] describing your role.  Userids are normally granted to maintainers and authors of prospective (“sandbox”) and accepted Boost libraries, people working on the Boost website, and people contributing significant content to this Wiki.  When you get your userid '''please use the [../settings Settings] link at the top of this page to enter your email address.''' Unless you take this step, tickets can't be assigned to you and any bugs you report will appear to be from an unreachable anonymous user.  If you get Subversion access your SVN userid and pasword will be the same as your Trac userid and password.

 If you are just submitting bug reports, you probably don't need a Trac userid, but '''please use the [../settings Settings] link at the top of this page to enter your email address''' before submitting your report. Unless you take this step, we won't be able to follow up with you about your issue (and we often need more information in order to do anything useful with a report) and you won't be notified of progress or changes to its status.
+
+If your request for a userid is granted you'll receive an invitation to register from “SVNManager” and you'll have total freedom to choose your new userid and password.  If your role includes Subversion access your SVN userid and pasword will be the same as your Trac userid and password. Please:
+
+ - if you had a !SourceForge userid and Boost tickets were assigned to you on the [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=7586 old SourceForge trackers], either pick the same userid or reassign all your tickets imported from !SourceForge to your new userid as described in TicketWorkflow.
+ - choose a '''userid that is easily identified as you''' (e.g. use your full name)!
+ - use the [../settings Settings] link at the top of this page to '''enter your email address.''' Unless you take this step, tickets can't be assigned to you and any bugs you report will appear to be from an unreachable anonymous user.  
+ - read TicketWorkflow
