Step 1: Create root directories

On your file system, create root directories for the RWE and SOWE. Also create a root directory for each PWE needed by your team.
If you want SNiFF+ to create shared projects in your team's current shared source file directory, use this directory as the root directory of your team's SSWE.
If you first want to create a new directory and copy the current set of your source files and directories into it, do so now. Use this new directory as the root directory of your team's SSWE.
In the rest of this chapter, we will often use the following notation when referring to your working environment root directories:

<RWE_root_directory> -- RWE root directory
<SSWE_root_directory> -- SSWE root directory
<SOWE_root_directory> -- SOWE root directory
<PWE_root_directory> -- PWE root directory
Give all members of your team read-only permissions for the SSWE and SOWE root directories.
Give all members of your development team write permissions for the RWE root directory.
Write permission for the RWE is necessary for performing version-control operations on files in your Repository.
