Sysadmin work

Links to detailed policies, procedures and information specific to HCoop. The resources here should allow HCoop admin team members to share information about every part of the complete system, and to allow easier training of future team members.

The linked pages are sorted based on relevance in day to day operations. That means the current admins will most often consult pages from the top of the list, while new admins or people wishing to get familiar with the setup will start from the end and move upwards.

Admins: it is recommended that you create a wiki account and subscribe to the page regex .* (all pages) to keep informed of what everyone is up to. Documenting your work here is recommended.
