1 Stuff to try doing at the hackathon on Saturday, October 25th.
3 Most of these will also be good things to try before or for some time
4 after the hackathon. Talk to the people identified for each project
5 to see how you can help.
7 If you have a project and want people to help, add it.
9 * `scripts.mit.edu` -- Talk to `geofft` or `quentin`
10 * Find some software we don't have an autoinstaller for, and write an
11 autoinstaller for it. Or update an autoinstaller to a newer version of the
12 software. This doesn't require a lot of code, since we have several
13 autoinstallers already written, but will require a bit of testing.
14 * Add a web interface for scripts users to edit their LDAP entries, which are
15 internal entries that affect several things about their site
16 * Read through already answered e-mails and update the FAQ on the website and
17 other parts of our documentation. This is a great way to learn how scripts
19 * Write a blog aggregator, something like planet.debian.org, so that scripts
20 blog users can publish their entries on certain topics to an MIT-wide blog
21 * install `old-faithful`; see [http://scripts/trac/browser/server/doc/install-howto `server/doc/install-howto`] for the steps
23 * XVM - talk to `price` or `broder`
24 * (done) make `validation.py` available on remote
25 * validate more operations at remote rather than web
26 * expose more operations over remctl in addition to web
27 * put our hosts in Moira
28 * ajaxify / javascriptify the website
29 * get SPNEGO working, i.e. accept Kerberos auth on the website
30 * Give the website a stylistic facelift.
32 * voip-scripts - talk to `geofft`
33 * read about Asterisk, AGI, study `captain-crunch:/etc/asterisk` and `/var/lib/asterisk`
34 * figure out draft suexec code at `/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/suexec.c`
35 * figure out or ask what's not working, figure out how to do it
37 * Documentation project
38 * Assemble good documentation of AFS from a user's perspective. There's lots of
39 documentation, but only small parts are good and useful.
40 * Cull old Ask SIPB columns into documentation.
41 * Cull documentation into new Ask SIPB columns.
43 * Debathena - talk to `broder` or `geofft`
44 * a livecd would be awesome; there are tools these days to make this tractable
46 * Archiver - talk to `nelhage`

48 planning to store mail into AFS, and expose archives via AFS, IMAP,
