Staff Onboarding Checklist

A sample checklist for onboarding new staff. Each staff member will have different needs, but these are some of the most common.

Accounts that the staff member must create:
 * Create an account to receive Dryad-specific email (often XXXX.dryad@gmail.com) -- Note that this step is not required if the staff member will not be regularly contacting Dryad customers or partners (e.g., a student intern)
 * Email help@datadryad.org to request an @datadryad.org email address that forwards to your preferred email.
 * access to wiki - staff self-creates an account, then asks admin@datadryad.org for privileged access
 * Google Dryad Dev list dryad-dev@googlegroups.com - sign yourself up
 * Accounts in Dryad production and development servers -- create the accounts, and ask admin@datadryad.org for privileges
 * Dryad Announce list -- sign up yourself (from Dryad homepage)
 * IM/call technologies -- connect with relevant staff members via IM and other communication technologies

Accounts/access created by Dryad administrators:
 * Dryad Dropbox folder
 * Dryad private team list
 * Trello -- may use a pre-existing Trello account, or a new account based on the @datadryad.org email
 * FogBugz
 * Dryad Users list
 * keys and ID cards needed for physical access to Dryad space
 * update mail aliases as required
 * update Website staff list

The staff member should become familiar with:
 * The other Dryad staff
 * Architecture Overview
 * Submission System Workflow
 * Curation Practices
 * Emergency Contact Procedures
 * Using Trello

If the staff member will be performing development, they should be trained on:
 * Development Process
 * How To Install Dryad
 * Using Git
 * Testing
