Tasks
<robin> i will personally commit to making a tinkerable "hcoop-in-a-box" in 202[45], depending on the work situation [...]
- Try out account renaming
- Jitsi Meet support
ActivityPub-based libre social networking system (e.g., Mastodon, Pleroma/Akkoma, misskey, etc.; there are other AP-based services like bookwyrm,
- 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
in progress: Implement client-side HCoop integration under Guix System (openafs package and service completed)
Help resolve the WikiReplacement2021 situation
Automagic LetsEncrypt integration: ideally make it entirely automatic and enabled by default
*scratch*
- Registrar recommendation update: gandi is still good (imo) but now overpriced; namecheap, porkbun, and ssl2buy have been suggested by hcoop and systemcrafters ppl
- Allow use of GNU Guix on HCoop. Evaluate resource requirements, consider ways to calculate "space quotas" fairly (or even define what that means with guix). It works well with Debian and allows highly customized setups that are nevertheless "transparent" to sysadmins, as shared service usage is

- Disable wiki captchas for logged-in users, or verified users in a particular group
- Licensing policy (libre licensing for software and official documentation)
- Contemplate new/adjusted logo design
Website design tweaks. General "refresh". Application link is not nearly obvious enough on the homepage. New framing. Slight update of general aesthetics (defaulting to some genre of 2024 website vs. 2010-era design)
- Sieve support for roundcube. Probably entails moving to Dovecot which has its own advantages
- 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
