10.69.42.100 Added more info about AIX systems. (CMB)
Line 1: Line 1:
-====== Goals ====== 
  
-Currently, all our Internet services (email, web, mailing lists, shell accounts) run on 2 AIX 
-systems. (AIX is IBM's version of UNIX.) **Michelob** is running AIX 4.3; it runs email and mailing lists. 
-**Dark** was recently upgraded to AIX 5.1; it runs the SLUUG.org web site. 
- 
-We want to move a portion of our current Internet functionality 
-to more modern systems, to allow more people to share in the work, as 
-there are more people familiar with Linux than AIX. We'll also be able to 
-do things that we hadn't be able to before, due to older software. 
-SpamAssassin and PHP are 2 of the major things we want to start using. ​ 
- 
-One of my (Craig'​s) personal goals is to move management of web content to a 
-through-the-web content management interface. The ideal package would have the 
-following features: 
-  * Looks like a "​normal"​ web site, with mostly static content 
-  * Editing a page is moderately easy, using wiki-like syntax or a WYSIWYG 
-  * Accounts/​ACLs limit who can edit pages, on a per-directory basis 
-  * URLs look like URLs of a "​normal"​ web site 
-  * Should use modern standards and practices, such as XHTML and CSS 
-  * Expandable, so we can add non-static pages later 
- 
-The current systems will remain in some capacities. ​ 
-(At the very least, they will have shell access to play 
-around with AIX.) Functionality will be migrated piece-by-piece, ​ 
-and no piece will be moved until it is ready.
