+====== Leipzig University Computer Help for IPSP students ======
+I am looking forward to descriptions of problems
+and/or obscure error messages you encountered with almaweb, the university email, and moodle.
+If you can also provide a solution that is even better.
+In the course of time the descriptions of the problems and solutions will grow into a HowTo page for IPSP students.
+In the end a good HowTo entry should involve a description of a
+  - **problem** with a quote of the  /error message/  and the context where it arises
+  - **solution**
+    * Whom did you contact when something did not work, and how did you describe the problem?
+    * Which web page did you visit to solve the problem, and which information was filled in?
+Suggestions for new topics can be added in the Discussion field in the bottom of this page.
