Hi Marilyn,

It is great that this website now exists. However, I think it would be very useful if the wait times for certain things were explicitly mentioned in the Getting Started page. For example,

  1. It might take a month to actually get a UC id card. (which delays anything else university related)
  2. You may or may not actually get paid after 1 month, depending on when you actually got "into" the system
  3. A sentence or two about peoplesoft might also be useful, in order to lessen the shock when a person first experiences it :)

These are very important issues for people just arriving in the city. And every postdoc that I have met so far has had some problems them.

Good job with the site otherwise though!
