| 45 | <h3>How to Join HCoop</h3> |
| 46 | |
| 47 | |
| 48 | HCoop is currently accepting new members and only asks that you meet the following basic requirements prior to submitting your application. Members must be able to: |
| 49 | |
| 50 | <ul> |
| 51 | <li><strong>Pay $7/month in United States dollars.</strong> Most members pay with <a href="http://www.paypal.com/">Paypal</a> or <a href="http://checkout.google.com/">Google Checkout</a>, which can process major credit cards or pull money from your bank account. |
| 52 | </li> |
| 53 | <li><strong>Use a basic Linux working environment.</strong> Most of our members are fairly technically inclined, but some aren't. If you haven't used Linux before, it doesn't have to be a deal breaker for you and HCoop. If you're good with computers and willing to do a little learning, you should be fine. Other HCoop members will probably be willing to help you through the use of our <a href="https://lists.hcoop.net/listinfo/hcoop-help">hcoop-help</a> mailing list. |
| 54 | </li> |
| 55 | <li><strong>Agree to our <a href="tos.html">Terms of Service</a>.</strong> Nothing too weird. |
| 56 | </li> |
| 57 | <li><strong>Read the <a href="http://wiki.hcoop.net/MemberManual/GettingStarted">Getting Started</a> section of our <a href="http://wiki.hcoop.net/MemberManual"Member Manual</a>, which is on our <a href="http://wiki.hcoop.net/">Wiki</a></strong>. Lots of good information here. |
