From NITRC Wiki
The NITRC Community Home page is accessed through the main menu "Community" link or its "Home" sub-menu link. This page offers a quick glance at upcoming events and the latest news and discussions for the NITRC community. It provides links to areas of NITRC that may be of interest to the entire functional and structural neuroimaging community.
Community Forums: The NITRC Community open discussion forum gives registered users an opportunity to talk about NITRC, ask questions, and get answers from the functional and structural neuroimaging community. Visitors may browse and view NITRC Community forums, but users must be registered with NITRC to contribute to the discussions. The NITRC Community forum functionality is the same as that for individual tools/resources. Please refer to the Tool/Resource Feature: Forums section of this User Guide for more information on how to use forums.
Recently Active Forums: The most recently active forums are listed for each tool/resource with forum activity. The default display shows the most recent posting within NITRC at the top of this page. Changing the sort order may enable you to more easily find a recent discussion for a particular tool/resource or a particular topic. Once you have selected a forum or post title, the functionality is the same as that for individual tools/resources.
