1 [[!meta title="The SIPB Website"]]
6 * The design is equivalent to the old design, just with the design trends of the current time (alternatively, built in the 21st century, but without sufficient design clue)
7 * What do we put on the right side?
8 * Rectangles and straight lines make it look angular and stark
9 * The design is too generic; needs more SIPB personality, so that another website couldn't just be swapped in (Define SIPB personality)
10 * Consider rebranding possibilities (e.g. making fuzzball more "internal" like octocat on github, developing new logos, etc.) (publicity opportunities)
14 * git push (scripts-git, or gitosis on an XVM)
15 * commit zephyrs for git (ikiwiki.git)
17 * make style usable for other SIPB sites?
18 * make title == alt on images
21 * migrate sipb.mit.edu/doc
25 * add a grumpy fuzzball favicon to replace the ikiwiki one.
26 * feel free to make a better one if you like ~fawkes
27 * all those other things we did before putting our todo here...

33 ###When a request comes in:
34 a connection comes in for sipb.mit.edu which via a hack in MIT DNS gets directed instead to PENGUIN-LUST.MIT.EDU. If its on ports 80, (443?), or 444 it gets passed off to scripts (where it's handled by b-m or b-k, whichever).
36 scripts has a special vhost config (/etc/httpd/vhost.d/sipb.conf) for
39 DocumentRoot /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/sipb-www/web_scripts/wiki
40 Alias /doc /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/sipb-www/web_scripts/doc
41 Alias /iap /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/sipb-www/web_scripts/iap
42 Alias /cgit /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/sipb-www/web_scripts/cgit
43 Alias /~sipb-www /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/sipb-www/web_scripts
45 For our purposes the key line is the first, meaning that URIs not
46 falling into an exception are served straight out of
47 web_scripts/wiki/. This directory's contents are generated by ikiwiki
48 after each edit, consisting of HTML files and a program ikiwiki.cgi.
50 ###For development's sake:
52 ####How Do I make edits?
53 If you want to just edit contents, use the web interface (edit links at bottom of page) or "git clone git+ssh://sipb-www@scripts.mit.edu/mit/sipb-www/wiki.git", make your edits in the mdwn, etc.
55 When you commit, ikiwiki should get automatically republished as HTML.
58 ####Detailed Locker Layout
62 | \-- writable: directory containing files writable by scripts
63 | dotfiles such as .bash_history are symlinked here
65 | \-- amd64_fedora9_scripts: binaries related to publishing ikiwiki
66 |-- bin, lib, sbin: links into arch
67 |-- man: a link into arch, ikiwiki manpages.
68 | add sipb-www to get them into MANPATH
69 |-- share -> arch/amd64_fedora9_scripts/share
70 | |-- ikiwiki: where some basic things are pulled from during build
71 | |-- locale: i18n things we aren't using
72 | `-- man: where the manpages really live
73 |-- ikiwiki: think of it as like a mix of etc and build
74 | |-- cgitrc : configuration for cgit
75 | |-- ikiwiki.setup: configuration for ikiwiki
76 | `-- src: where ikiwiki checks out wiki.git for building
78 | |-- cgit: where cgit was built from (not actively changed)
79 | |-- ikiwiki.git: the git repository representing the SIPB
80 | | variation on ikiwiki.
81 | `-- old.ikiwiki: irrelevant
83 | |-- RCS: .htaccess must be versioned
84 | |-- cgit: what you look at when you click on "History"
85 | |-- doc: the old Trac wiki
86 | |-- iap -> /mit/sipb-iap/www
87 | |-- radiant: old and irrelevant
88 | |-- rtfm: contains an index.html identical to rtfm.html below
89 | |-- rtfm.html: served for rtfm.mit.edu:80
90 | `-- wiki: the published HTML that you are being served right now
91 |-- web_scripts_tmp: old directory around to keep trac up-to-date. Should
92 | vanish sooner or later
93 `-- wiki.git: this is where all the content lives as markdown.
94 Clone this if you hate web interfaces.
