An email containing all this information is sent to you when your
application as an RSP is accepted (i.e. receipt of contract). For
reference:

http://www.opensrs.org/Support_FAQ.shtml - great resource
http://www.opensrs.org/archives/mailing.index.shtml - Mailing List page -
gateway to the archives and search pages

There are other FAQs linked directly from the main page of
http://www.opensrs.org which is also an excellent source of information.

Good luck!

Hello all.

Maybe for future beginners , like me, that answer basic questions. Could you send an email with the URL's of the knowledge base,FAQ,archieves and anything else we can refer to, before asking something here?. Or as someone sugestted , maybe at the end of each mail. Or maybe a weekly or monthly email?

In my case I'll do the homework and will try to find the answers there or in some other place, and will post here just after consulting all the other places. ok?
