An overview for first time visitors, e.g. a teacher or a student of a NEOS school
Welcome! If it is your first time, you may find it useful to print this help...
Well, before you log in, you are an anonymous user: you can just look and read around in the portal, and you can post in the forum. As you already discovered, the navigation can start from the tabs on top or from the navigation portlet on the left.
If you want to be more active in NEOS portal, you have to register, following the join link on top right.
As soon as you are logged in, you are an authenticated user, and you are able to go to your preferences page. It is suggested that you choose Epoz as your content editor. Remember to save the changes.
Now you can go to your personal folder, which is your personal work space: here you can add documents, images, news, upload files, create subfolders and more. All these objects will be visible only to you (when you are logged in), and you can edit them again and again. In fact you now have a remote file system of your own.
If you feel you have something worth of a real visibility, that is you would like it to show up in the portal's navigation tools, you can ask to change its state from visible to published. If it is a document, you would better give a suggestion as to which folder is the right one (e.g. "European Constitution").
As soon as a reviewer logs in he will see your publishing request and he will allow it or not. Typically each Neos school has one reviewer account.
And now, you could take a tour to some more detailed instructions about adding and editing content, extracted from the Plone Book.

Note: this portal is multilingual, it tryes to serve you pages in the first language you set for your browser. In the following we assume you are seeing everything in english. You may select the preferred language order using the Firefox configuration menus -> -> , or the Internet Explorer configuration menus Tools -> Internet options -> Languages. NEOS portal will always present itself in the language which comes first.Choosing a login name, it could be a good idea to give an idea of who you are; we may choose a standard, but maybe karl_bocholt is better than blackbird_64?
