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 Or update an autoinstaller to a newer version of the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