+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 [HackathonIdeas] for stuff to try doing at the hackathon on Saturday, October 25th all day starting at 13:00.

+== Documentation Ideas ==
+
+This is a list of topics that need documentation in one form or another or that are good for explaining to prospectives.
+
+ * UsingZephyr -- [http://barnowl.mit.edu/wiki/GettingStarted] is a good start, but could use text on screen and tickets, among other things
+ * AdvancedBarnOwl -- There are a lot of cool things you can do with BarnOwl. Almost none of them are documented (this may belong on the barnowl wiki, but since they're both trac, it's easy to move)
+
+ * PrintingAtMit
+ * QuickPrint
+ * `lpq`, `lprm`, `queues.mit.edu`
+ * printing from non-Athena: CupsOnMac
+ * `-i printadm` (maybe)
+
+ * [wiki:XVM] -- using `remctl`, getting the serial console (maybe should go on XVM wiki, but it's also trac so easy to move)
+
+ * 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`
+
+ * ScriptsMitEdu -- lots of neat internals to explain
+
+ * [wiki:AFSAndYou] -- 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.
+
+ * 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
