| * For the technically inclined, the member url directory / location map are generated from DaemonAdmin/Portal using a shell script.

There is a monthly Hcoop volunteer day where we get together on IRC and work on Hcoop tasks. A good place to start is the category Needs Work. Below there's some tasks that are not directly related to the wiki.
The next Hcoop volunteer day is (tentatively): March 9th

- Bonus points for the first person to use an open street maps widget for the member location summary
- We also need to make members aware of the url directory again
Volunteeer to be a system admin
- In particular, anyone who knows exim or dovecot could help us quite a bit
Check out CategoryNeedsWork and revise/clean up wiki pages that have been neglected.
Tag pages CategoryNeedsWork if they clearly need work
We need someone with Windows 7 and/or Windows 8 to update the guide to mounting your afs directory since the process is different, and you have to use OpenAFS 1.7.x.
Screenshots showing how to whitelist hcoop announcements on gmail would be helpful on MemberManual/GettingStarted/AccountCreated
Mailing list moderators for -discuss, -help, and -sysadmin are needed (right now ClintonEbadi is doing all moderation, and not very regularly)
- Workload is light: when you receive a moderation message either kill it or approve it. Can usually be done once per day or less, especially when multiple people are moderating the lists simultaneously.

Someone should write a Thunderbird auto configuration file.
