1 [[!meta title="SIPB Documentation Project"]]
3 The SIPB Documentation Project is a project to document in written
4 form the collective knowledge that SIPB members take for granted or
5 use in maintaining services and projects that are not otherwise
8 See [[SIPB Documentation|/doc]] for documentation produced so far.
9 Existing documentation can always be improved.
12 See [[Project Ideas|doc/project-ideas]] for stuff to try doing to
13 further the goals of the SIPB.
15 <!-- See LennyBugs and LennyBugsAll for the bugs we took on in the Lenny
16 RC-bug-squashing hackathon of December 13, 2008. -->
19 ## Documentation Ideas
21 This is a partial list of further topics that need documentation.
25 * `lpq`, `lprm`, `queues.mit.edu`
26 * `-i printadm` (maybe)
28 * "Using Debathena" -- You've installed Debathena -- now what? Automounter, `blanche`, cups; using stuff in the GUI.
29 * "Athena Dotfiles" -- These are weird and nonstandard compared to traditional UNIX and should be documented, including things like `.environment`
30 * There's some documentation at [http://web.mit.edu/olh/Dotfiles/]
32 * scripts.mit.edu -- lots of neat internals to explain
34 * AFS: There should be a central documentation point to using your
35 AFS space, granting access through AFS and through `web`, accessing
36 files from various platforms, and so on. Don't duplicate iAFS;
37 perhaps latex2html and update it.
41 * "Client Certs" should explain, if for some perverse reason you don't
42 want to use scripts.mit.edu :-), how to set up client cert
43 authentication on your own machine (grab the CA out of the
44 apache-ssl locker, submit a CSR to mitcert@, set up scripts' magic
45 Apache modules to make your life easier)
52 * [[ikiwiki/Formatting]] -- Documentation on this wiki's formatting language
53 * SIPB's [Inessential Guides](http://stuff.mit.edu/sipb/docs.html). A
54 previous generation of SIPB documentation. Much of it is dated, but some
55 still contains useful knowledge that should be updated or moved here.
56 * [SIPB services and projects list](http://stuff.mit.edu/sipb/project-list.html)
