-== Documentation Ideas ==
+See ProjectIdeas for stuff to try doing to further the goals of the SIPB.
+
+See '''LennyBugs''' for bugs to take on in the Lenny
+'''RC-bug-squashing hackathon''' of '''December 13, 2008'''.
-This is a list of topics that need documentation in one form or another or that are good for explaining to prospectives.
+== Documentation Topics ==
- * 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)
+ * UsingZephyr -- An attempt at a complete beginner's guide to getting
+ on Zephyr with BarnOwl and screen.
+ * BarnOwl has some more documentation on [http://barnowl.mit.edu/ its wiki]
+ * [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]
+ * 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.

* PrintingAtMit
* QuickPrint
* 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`
+ * There's some documentation at [http://web.mit.edu/olh/Dotfiles/]
* 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.
+ 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!

Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover-Texts.
