= Welcome to the SIPB Documentation Project =
-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 previously 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!

+
+== 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.
-
- * 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)

+another or that are good for explaining to prospectives.
- * PrintingAtMit -- QuickPrint; `lpq`, `lprm`, `queues.mit.edu`; printing from non-Athena; `-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)
+ * 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
- * [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!
* WikiFormatting -- Documentation on trac's Wiki formatting language
* 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
