+The SIPB Documentation Project is a project to document in written
+form the collective knowledge that SIPB members take for granted or
+use in maintaining services and projects that are not otherwise
+written down anywhere.
-To kick off the project, we will be holding a SIPB Documentathon in the SIPB office on Sunday, September 14, starting at 1pm. Anyone who either has or wants knowledge about computing at MIT or SIPB is welcome!
+See '''ProjectIdeas''' for stuff to try doing to further the goals of the SIPB.
+
+See LennyBugs and LennyBugsAll for the bugs we took on in the Lenny
+RC-bug-squashing hackathon of December 13, 2008.
+
+== Documentation Topics ==
+
+ * UsingZephyr -- An attempt at a complete beginner's guide to getting
+ on Zephyr with BarnOwl and [UsingScreen screen].
+ * BarnOwl has some more documentation on [http://barnowl.mit.edu/ its wiki]
+ * [wiki:AFSAndYou] -- an attempt at beginners guide to working with AFS for Athena and Web
+ * UsingScreen -- Handy for [UsingZephyr Zephyr] and anything else you do in an ssh session.
+ * [wiki:XVM] (On XVM's trac)
+ * [https://xvm.mit.edu/trac/wiki/Remctl using `remctl`]
+ * [https://xvm.mit.edu/trac/wiki/SerialConsole getting the serial console]
+ * printing: QuickPrint, CupsOnMac
+ * KerberizedServer explains keytabs and how to get one and how that lets you SSH somewhere with Kerberos.
+ * RootInstance explains root and extra instances in Kerberos.
+ * SummerReading -- Documents or books that various SIPB members recommend reading.
+
+== Documentation Ideas ==
+
+This is a list of topics that need documentation in one form or
+another or that are good for explaining to prospectives.
+
+ * PrintingAtMit
+ * QuickPrint -- done!
+ * `lpq`, `lprm`, `queues.mit.edu`
+ * printing from non-Athena: CupsOnMac -- done!
+ * `-i printadm` (maybe)
+
+ * [wiki:Debianization] -- packaging software for Debian and Ubuntu
+ * UsingDebathena -- You've installed Debathena -- now what? Automounter, `blanche`, cups; using stuff in the GUI.
+ * AthenaDotFiles -- These are weird and nonstandard compared to traditional UNIX and should be documented, including things like `.environment`
+ * There's some documentation at [http://web.mit.edu/olh/Dotfiles/]
+
+ * ScriptsMitEdu -- lots of neat internals to explain
+
+ -- There should be a central documentation point to using your AFS space, granting access through AFS and through `web`, accessing files from various platforms, and so on. Don't duplicate iAFS; perhaps latex2html and update it.
+
+ Setting up servers:
+ * ClientCerts should explain, if for some perverse reason you don't want to use scripts.mit.edu :-), how to set up client cert authentication on your own machine (grab the CA out of the apache-ssl locker, submit a CSR to mitcert@, set up scripts' magic Apache modules to make your life easier)
+
+ * Add your own here!
== Useful Links ==
* WikiFormatting -- Documentation on trac's Wiki formatting language
- * DocumentationIdeas -- Projects or services in need of documentation by someone
+ * SIPB's [http://stuff.mit.edu/sipb/docs.html Inessential Guides]. A previous generation of SIPB documentation. Much of it is dated, but still contains useful knowledge that should be updated or moved here.
+ * SIPB services and projects list: http://stuff.mit.edu/sipb/project-list.html
