 This page documents the procedure to follow when delivering data to NEODC.
 
-First, we need to have some data to send - this should be datasets that are 'completed'
+First, we need to have some data to send - these should be datasets that are 'completed'.
 
-''saved as partial''
+'''Work in progress!'''
 
-Handy commands:
-
- * `find -type f -not -wholename *bin/az* -and -not -regex '.*/run[aceh]/.*sh' -and -perm /a=x -exec chmod a-x {} \;`
-   * removes executable bit on all files (except bin/az* and the run[aceh] scripts)
- * `find -regex '.*[^-0-9a-zA-Z/._].*'`
-   * find all files/dirs with unusual characters (space, brackets, etc) - these need a manual rename
- * `chmod -R a+rX .`
-   * recursively give everyone read permissions (and execute if it has user execute) for the current directory and below
+ 1. Copy the relevant datasets onto the disk.  For each dataset:
+   1. Make sure everything is where it should be! (see [wiki:Procedures/DataFlow this wiki page] for the layout)
+   1. Add a copy of the relevant trac ticket(s) - save these as html (including images) and put in the admin/ subdir.
+ 1. Write a README.txt that explains:
+   1. The layout of the disk and what's on it
+   1. Any additional information that'll help explain unusual files/dirs
+ 1. Scan the filesystem for any 'bad' things and fix them:
+   1. Remove executable bit on all files (except bin/az* and the run[aceh] scripts) -> `find -type f -not -wholename *bin/az* -and -not -regex '.*/run[aceh]/.*sh' -and -perm /a=x -exec chmod a-x {} \;`
+   1. Find all files/dirs with unusual characters (space, brackets, etc) - these need a manual rename at present -> `find -regex '.*[^-0-9a-zA-Z/._].*'`
+   1. Give everyone read permissions (and execute if it has user execute) for the current directory and below - `chmod -R a+rX .`
+ 1. Create a filelist (`find -ls > file_list.txt`)
+ 1. Copy the README and filelist to the USB stick associated with the disk.
+ 1. Print out and attach listings & README to the logbook.
+ 1. Package up the disk, USB stick and log book nicely and post to NEODC at the address below:
