| Gitweb URIs: Repo.or.cz uses cleaner URIs than gitweb's defaults -- for example, `/w/foo.git/commit/abcdef` for viewing an individual commit. We should patch our gitweb script to provide something similar. It might also be useful to host hgweb and darcsweb instances. At least one user wants to host mercurial repositories, and several of us use darcs. Next meeting: sign the [[http://www.internetdeclaration.org/|Declaration of Internet Freedom]]. Also probably register as a stakeholder in GNU/consensus -- it's unclear what direction it will take but GNU-approved social networking projects are probably worth tracking Sometime this year: start a Planet HCoop again! ([[http://intertwingly.net/code/venus/]]); set up an independent MeetBot instance Fix moinmoin headings somehow. Many pages use H1 for section titles which makes the outline (in the html5 sense) nonsensical and contradicts w3c recommendations Fix defaults that lead to serving the same resource from multiple URIs. In particular, don't serve files from `public_html` from domains by default, and use permanent redirects from the `www` subdomain to the bare domain name or vice versa Poll members about what they would like to do with free social networking services (e.g., ostatus, mediagoblin); what approaches they would prefer for vanity domains vs. central installations; use by non-members (e.g. will their friends want to use their installations, would their friends join hcoop, etc.); semi-managed installations vs. manual individual administration; ... Policy/guideline ideas: Licensing policy: (A)GPLv3-compatible for software, the usual free content licenses for other things? We may want an exception for logos, or just protect them as trademarks like Debian does. The content license(s) should ideally be GPL-compatible since we probably have some "content" that is GPL (like domtool docstrings). Relicensing the wiki may be difficult, but there are probably not many (15, 20?) contributors of substantial amounts of currently-relevant text, excluding homepages. Internal design guidelines: choose a basic color palette for websites; select common fonts (not really important but i should probably make the member portal match the main site, maybe work on an hcoop wiki theme) Internal writing guidelines: use gender-inclusive language; promote only FreeSoftware officially, and ask that people consider FreeSoftware principles and the SevenPrinciples when officially recommending a service or organization; write "GNU/Linux" instead of "Linux" when referring to the entire OS |
* Automagic LetsEncrypt integration * Allow use of GNU Guix on HCoop (provided that resource requirements are not too high) * Informally federate with other hosting coops and collectives? Perhaps go further and informally federate with workers coops as well? * Better domtool usability; perhaps eldoc integration, a GUI/form-based interface to (a subset) of the language, etc. * Become a small-scale Gandi domain reseller? (easy "buy and add a domain" system for portal) * Better voting system for board elections (ranked-choice, etc.)? Purely a theoretical issue right now * Try out some gitweb alternatives, like sourcehut, gitile, .... Minimally a nicer gitweb-type browser would be good; it'd also be useful to have Github/Gitweb-style PRs, though there are probably issues (spam) with allowing that for contributions from non-members * Kerberos 2FA support? * Single sign-on for hcoop.net websites? (not kerberos-based due to lack of browser support under typical configurations, although that's theoretically possible, perhaps with a WebExtension...) * Disable wiki captchas for logged-in users, or verified users in a particular group * Try out account renaming * Licensing policy (libre licensing for software and official documentation) * Contemplate new/adjusted logo design * Website design tweaks * Sieve support for roundcube * Discuss possible uses of a surplus * Integricloud offers POWER9-based hosting (presumably with RaptorCS hardware), but is expensive and probably not a good candidate for several other reasons * Rethink VolunteerResponsePolicy: consider ntk's comment on admin vs. operational response times, also perhaps ''require'' sysadmins to take some time off periodically |

Top priorities
- Jitsi Meet support
ActivityPub-based libre social networking system (e.g., Mastodon, Pleroma, etc. -- Twitter/FB alternatives)
- Matrix or a similar libre text-chat system (maybe; at least we have IRC and XMPP)
- Finish HCoop packaging for Guix to make it easier for non-sysadmins to experiment
- Implement client-side HCoop integration under Guix System (openafs service, etc.)
Help resolve the WikiReplacement2021 situation
*scratch*
Automagic LetsEncrypt integration
- Allow use of GNU Guix on HCoop (provided that resource requirements are not too high)
- Informally federate with other hosting coops and collectives? Perhaps go further and informally federate with workers coops as well?
- Better domtool usability; perhaps eldoc integration, a GUI/form-based interface to (a subset) of the language, etc.

- Disable wiki captchas for logged-in users, or verified users in a particular group
- Try out account renaming
- Licensing policy (libre licensing for software and official documentation)
- Contemplate new/adjusted logo design
- Website design tweaks
- Sieve support for roundcube
- Discuss possible uses of a surplus
- Integricloud offers POWER9-based hosting (presumably with RaptorCS hardware), but is expensive and probably not a good candidate for several other reasons
