If you are already logged in to PCMDI go to http://pcmdi3.llnl.gov and select the "Logout" tab in the top right.  If you don't see "Logout" something else is wrong.

That's exactly what the site is designed to enable.  The user asking the question can select 1 answer as the "accepted answer".  This answer is then marked in green.  Also any user can vote up/down questions and answers as a measure of how relevant or accurate they are, or they can comment on a question/answer.  Administrators can also edit questions and answers.

I have added a comment to my answer about failed login, so once you've logged in you can vote or comment on it.  Also Stephane could accept the answer if he thinks it's good enough.

Cheers,
Stephen.

Hi Steven et al.,,

I couldn't login, but looking at one of the questions, you suggest that when this happens, I should "logout of PCMDI first" (in response to "Using an OpenID from PCMDI ...").  Since I'm at PCMDI, I wasn't sure how to logout of PCMDI.  Can you help?

More generally, I think this looks like a helpful page.  I can imagine, however, that some of the questions might be partially answered by one person, corrected and more fully answered by a second person, with possible additional information added by another.  For a user looking for answers, it would be helpful, at some point, to give a summary definitive answer, so the user wouldn't have to wade through this a collection of answers and corrections.  Is there a mechanism for doing that?

I also noticed that under the "unanswered" tab, there were several questions listed that had already received at least 1 answer.  Is that a bug?

Best regards,
Karl

The CMIP5-Help application is beginning to get used.  I encourage ESGF developers to sign-up and get involved.

For instance here's a question about adoption of drs urls from ESG-NCI.  Estani and I have both contributed answers, it would be good to have the PCMDI perspective.

Hello spascoe,

estani<http://esg-dev1.badc.rl.ac.uk/users/9/estani> has just posted a new answer on CMIP5 Help to the question File paths inside wget scripts seem to vary somewhat<http://esg-dev1.badc.rl.ac.uk/questions/20/file-paths-inside-wget-scripts-seem-to-vary-somewhat>:

There is a standard for this called DRS<http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5/docs/cmip5_data_reference_syntax.pdf> and even a best practices documentation<http://esg-pcmdi.llnl.gov/internal/esg-data-node-documentation/cmip5-best-practices>. Sadly we can not force data providers to comply with them. We hope that after the initial discrepancies are recognized, data providers will slowly migrate to this standard.

Don't forget to come over and cast your vote.

Thanks,
CMIP5 Help
