> People To Invite
> Invite as many people as you wish by listing their email addresses, one email address per line, or multiple addresses if each address is separated by a comma, colon, or semicolon. Automatically generated invitations to each invitee will be sent; you can use the field below to include a personal message, perhaps a brief explanation of your project's purpose, why you think he or she might find it worthwhile to join in, and a link providing direct access to your project home page.

> Recipients of your invitation who are already registered with this site log in to view your project home page. To join your project, they click the "Join This Project" link.

> If the person you're inviting is not registered with this site, the email invitation asks her to register first to obtain a login and password by email. Then this person is able to log in and view your project home page.

> Invitation Message
> This message should be brief, but clear and informative. You can include hyperlinks, and any other information that you think would promote your project. Formatting and HTML are not, however, supported--the message, that is, stands on what it says not on how it looks. Hint: write out what you want to say beforehand. That way, you won't be lost for words. Finally, all the other project information is automatically generated, so you don't have to worry about including it again.

The next step in the process is rather simple: it entails little more than acknowledging the project's creation. We explain the process in Project Creation Confirmation.
