Tasks

<robin> i will personally commit to making a tinkerable "hcoop-in-a-box" in 202[45], depending on the work situation [...]

• 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 (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 domain reseller? (easy "buy and add a domain" system for portal)
• Better voting system for board elections (ranked-choice or similar)? Purely a theoretical issue right now
• Try out some gitweb alternatives, like sourcehut, gitile, .... Minimally a nicer gitweb-type browser would be good
• Kerberos 2FA support?

• Single sign-on for hcoop.net services? (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

• Evaluate other bug reporting/ticketing systems like osTicket and debbugs (the latter is used for both Debian and GNU packages)

• Application link is not nearly obvious enough on the homepage

• Apparently for email we should have not just SPF but also DKIM (which is way more complicated)

• Review LibreSaaS list

• Debug wiki list CSS: links in items cause additional whitespace
