###1. '''Exchange files:''' If the !FreeSurfer team asks you to upload additional data files to help troubleshoot the problem, you can do so via [[FtpFileExchange|FTP.]] (retired)

###1. '''Contribute what you learned''': Once you figure out how to solve a problem that has not been documented previously, you can add documentation to help everyone else! To contribute to these wiki pages, you will need a WikiUserName. Please see GettingAccess to obtain a WikiUserName and then document away. To create a new page once you have an account, just goto the URL you want to create. For instance, goto this link for a page you would name !MyNewPage: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/MyNewPage and note the link that says 'Create new empty page'. Just click on that and type away (but please don't use !MyNewPage as a page name!).
