You might run into problems or struggles with the rest of the things on the list. You will ''definitely'' run into places where you need to ask your faculty advisor or someone else to help do something. As you work through this list, you should feel free to ask others on the <code>#communitydata</code> IRC channel for help. When you need a specific person (like your advisor) to do something, you should just send them a private message by IRC!
