We want this system to work in September so we need beta-testers now. Once upon a time, some members of the technical staff strove to solve the problem of disk usage among the hordes of introductory CS students. From now on, all CS accounts will last for the duration of a student's Brown career. TAs will have access to relevant source code directories.
Identities mainly exist to dole out resources.
Our first use is to coordinate disk space limits with account status. Limits will be enforced by fsh. Usage is determined by the identities a user possesses. Tstaff is still accepting suggestions for identities which will receive disk space. To beta-test this new system, tstaff is calling for volunteers.
