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 * make style usable for other SIPB sites?
16 * make title == alt on images
19 * migrate sipb.mit.edu/doc
21 * table of contents doesn't work. Likely to do with the co-opting of h1
22 exclusively for breadcrumbs ...
25 * commit zephyrs for git (ikiwiki.git)
27 * add a grumpy fuzzball favicon to replace the ikiwiki one.
28 * feel free to make a better one if you like ~fawkes
29 * all those other things we did before putting our todo here...
34 ###When a request comes in:
35 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).
37 The DocumentRoot for sipb.mit.edu is `/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/sipb-www/web_scripts/sipb`. This directory contains a `.htaccess` file that causes most URIs to be served out of `web_scripts/sipb/_wiki`, a symlink to `../../Scripts/wiki`. This directory's contents are static files generated by ikiwiki
40 ###For development's sake:
42 ####How do I make edits?
43 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/git/wiki", make your edits in the mdwn, etc.
45 When you commit, ikiwiki should get automatically republished as HTML.
47 To work on the code surrounding the wiki in addition to the wikitext, clone the superrepo:
49 $ git clone git+ssh://sipb-www@scripts.mit.edu/mit/sipb-www/git/sipb-www
51 $ git submodule update --init
53 You can also clone directly from the filesystem if you have AFS permission. If you want a preview of your pages to be generated locally, you can use the generate-preview.sh script in the superrepo:
55 $ git clone /mit/sipb-www/git/sipb-www
57 $ git submodule update --init
60 $ ./generate-preview.sh /tmp/sipb-out
61 $ firefox /tmp/sipb-out/index.html
64 ####Detailed Locker Layout
68 | |-- wiki: the published HTML that you are being served right now
69 | |-- wiki-cgi: CGI scripts for the wiki
70 | \-- writable: directory containing files writable by scripts
71 | dotfiles such as .bash_history are symlinked here
73 | |-- sipb-www.git: the master repo; other repos are submodules
74 | |-- wiki.git: home of the wiki content as markdown, etc
75 | \-- ikiwiki.git: the repo for SIPB's local variation on ikiwiki
76 |-- checkout: automatically updated checkout of sipb-www.git
78 | \-- amd64_fedora9_scripts: binaries related to publishing ikiwiki
79 |-- bin, lib, sbin: links into arch
80 |-- man: a link into arch, ikiwiki manpages.
81 | add sipb-www to get them into MANPATH
82 |-- share -> arch/amd64_fedora9_scripts/share
83 | |-- ikiwiki: where some basic things are pulled from during build
84 | |-- locale: i18n things we aren't using
85 | `-- man: where the manpages really live
86 |-- ikiwiki: think of it as like a mix of etc and build
87 | |-- cgitrc : configuration for cgit
88 | |-- ikiwiki.setup: configuration for ikiwiki
89 | `-- src: where ikiwiki checks out wiki.git for building
90 |-- planet: Source code and templates for Planet SIPB
91 | `-- sipb/basic: Our configuration
93 | \-- cgit: where cgit was built from (not actively changed)
95 | |-- cgit: what you look at when you click on "History"
96 | |-- doc: the old Trac wiki
97 | |-- radiant: old and irrelevant
98 | |-- rtfm: contains an index.html identical to rtfm.html below
99 | `-- sipb: the document root for sipb.mit.edu
100 | |-- _wiki -> ../../Scripts/wiki
101 | `-- _wiki-cgi -> ../../Scripts/wiki-cgi
102 \-- web_scripts_tmp: old directory around to keep trac up-to-date. Should
