@regirob
If you joined the group I bet you have the Zotero Firefox add-on installed. If so, you should be able to see the entries from the groups you subscribed to within your Zotero library (in the browser, I mean not in the web GUI).
In particular, chase the __group libraries section__ where you should find a collection called digitalclassics. Then, you can drag the items you want from yours to the group’s library.

As far as the account on the DigitalClassicist wiki you may want to contact one of the wiki’s administrators, see http://wiki.digitalclassicist.org/Members for their names and contact details.

Hope this helps

I’m a bit confused about two things.
First, i joined the Zotero group “digitalclassics” and i don’t understand how to contribute to the bibliography (i have some entries to share, mainly in french). Maybe i have a “slow brain”, as we say in french… How can we select items to be shared with one zotero group ?
Secondly, i didn’t manage to create an account on the Digital Classicist Wiki. It seems we can only log in, and there is no page to sign up (with URL like this : “index.php?title=Special:Connexion&type=signup”). Is there a required authorization prior to the subscription ?
Thank you for your help !

Please ignore this if it is of no interest to you, but many years ago I published an article, “Modelling the Spartan Crisis: Computer Simulation of the Impact of Inheritance Systems upon the Distribution of Landed Property”, Bulletin of the John Rylands Library, vol. 74.3, 1992, 25-38 (with Technical Appendix by S. Davnall). The entire issue of BJRL was devoted to computing and the humamities.

The results of the simulation were incorporated in a couple of my academic publications:
“Inheritance, Marriage and Demography: Perspectives on the Success and Decline of Classical Sparta”, in A. Powell (ed.), Classical Sparta: techniques behind her success, Routledge/Oklahoma U.P. 1989, 79-121
and
Property and Wealth in Classical Sparta, Duckworth and The Classical Press of Wales, London 2000, pp. 400-405
