Oracc emphasizes standards-compliant, cross-platform software so FireFox is a good choice of browser. Safari and Chrome are also supported, and reports about Opera are welcome. Internet Explorer is not supported.
Oracc uses Unicode in the UTF-8 encoding. You may like to install the Ungkam font, which provides all the characters Oracc uses for transliterated cuneiform. If you would like to make it easier to type accented characters you might find the Oracc keyboards page useful.
Oracc has several pages describing its organization, practicalities and philosopy which begin with the About Oracc page. There are also plenty of help pages.
Oracc notes and news are disseminated on the blog [http://oracc.blogspot.com], FaceBook page [http://www.facebook.com/opencuneiform] and two Twitter accounts: @oracctivity [http://www.twitter.com/oracctivity/] regularly posts links to tidbits from Oracc, while @opencuneiform [http://www.twitter.com/opencuneiform/] tweets technical news and updates.
