 This is a page aimed at helping students working on Parrot as part of [http://www.google-melange.com Google Summer of Code] to get acclimated into the community.  It doesn't deal with any coding matters but rather the administrative matters you'll need to get out of the way first.
 
-The first thing you'll need to do is register an account on [http://trac.parrot.org Trac]. This is a prerequisite to getting commit access to our [https://github.com/parrot/parrot GitHub] repository, which is managed via [http://trac.parrot.org Trac] credentials.
+The first thing you'll need to do is register an account on [http://trac.parrot.org Trac]. Once you have registered an account, ping kid51 or whiteknight on #parrot to grant you ''developer'' privileges.  This will enable you to create and modify both Trac tickets and wiki pages like this.  Trac access is also a prerequisite to getting commit access to our [https://github.com/parrot/parrot GitHub] repository, which is managed via [http://trac.parrot.org Trac] credentials.
 
 The following step is to send in a signed copy of the Parrot [http://www.parrot.org/files/parrot_cla.pdf Contributor License Agreement].  The instructions for sending it in are included in the document.  There can be some delay in the process of activating a commit bit after the [http://www.parrot.org/files/parrot_cla.pdf CLA] is received, so try to get this done as soon as possible.  In the meantime, you don't need a [http://www.parrot.org/files/parrot_cla.pdf CLA] to submit patches so feel free to do so.  Your GSoC mentor should be able to guide you on the patch submission process if you need any help, but the usual way is to open a [http://trac.parrot.org Trac] ticket with the patch attached and then bug people on IRC until it's committed or you get some feedback.
