Getting started with an account on the database

Step 1

Email daap [dot] signup [at] disroot [dot] org to receive a Registration Code. You will need this to complete the account set up process. In the email you send us, please include a short note to tell us how you heard about the archive and why you’d like to join our community. This is to protect the archive against automated account creation. Please allow a few days for our reply: we do our best to respond to sign up requests promptly.

Step 2

To create an account please go to the Create account page using this link. You can also find this function using the Create account button in the right hand side corner of the Main Page.

Step 3

Enter your details into the form on this page.

Username: The username you choose needs to start with a capital letter. If it doesn't it will be capitalised automatically. The DAAP database is a closed open community and everyone editing has to go through the signup process, which means it would be preferable if you use your name or the name you are known by. However, if there are politically or socially sensitive reasons for using an alias please feel free.

Password and email: Enter a password, confirm the password and enter your email in the following fields.

Your real name (optional): Next, you have the option to enter your name. If provided, it may be used to give you attribution for your work, however it won’t be seen by other users besides the database admin team.

Step 4

Enter code: Finally, enter the code you’ve received in your email and press "Create your account".
