From my experience, I would recommend longer pages, instead of dividing a topic into lots of subpages. When there are too many subpages, I've found that some will be updated, and some will fall out of date. (Of course, use your judgment here.)

Admins: it is recommended that you watch the changes [[http://wiki.hcoop.net/RecentChanges?action=rss_rc&diffs=1&ddiffs=1|RSS feed]] to keep informed of what everyone is up to. Then, please document all of your work on here somewhere - that way we will not only have a record, but everyone gets notified about what is going on. Alternatively, you can create a wiki account and subscribe to the page regex `.*` (all pages).

To be an admin

Sections you should read if you are interested in being an admin.

Admins: it is recommended that you watch the changes RSS feed to keep informed of what everyone is up to. Then, please document all of your work on here somewhere - that way we will not only have a record, but everyone gets notified about what is going on. Alternatively, you can create a wiki account and subscribe to the page regex .* (all pages).

Admins and Admin Responsibilities

Introductory material

Refer to documentation of each of the listed components. The information in our Wiki pages covers only the most basic principles, and quickly focuses on HCoop-specific setup, assuming skillset with the technology.

Planning and Records

  • ToDo: Both short term and longer term meta-planning.

  • IpAddresses: Listing of IPs that we use.

  • Hardware: Information on HCoop hardware.

  • HcoopAddresses: Physical addresses relevant to us.

  • OnSiteVisits: Records of visits by HCoop volunteers to our colocation facilities

Specific Machines

This documents machine-specific (hardware) things, or specific configuration necessary for that machine.

Services

This documents all software things that are not machine specific.

General Sysadmin

Specific Services

Historical
