Hello. This is the Wiki part of the web site. Please note that this site is not yet for production use. But we're having a lot of fun with it, and adding some good content. Feel free to join in and help improve things.

We're looking into the prospect of defining some membership privileges for various "levels" to encourage donations to our group. Please help us brainstorm on the membership page.

Here's the wikified version of the monthly planning calendar that Stan creates every month.

• Planning Calendar

That's fairly easy to update, but we're going to look into a few other web-based calendar programs. The ideal candidate would also publish the events in iCal format, so people could import it into their desktop calendar programs.

Here's the working copy of the next month's newsletter.

Let's build a SLUUG FAQ.

We're documenting how we built this server, in order to re-build it at a later date (like if we get a better server to replace the one we're using now), or a backup.

Please put all build info in the build/ namespace. If you're on this page, start the name with "build/" and then the rest of the name of the page. If you're on a page already in a "build" page, just reference the page using the name.

Please don't post any passwords on the wiki!

Here are our current build documents:

• Goals – what we're trying to accomplish in building the new server(s)
• Basics – system names, etc.
• Hardware – description of the hardware configuration
• Debian – base OS installation and configuration (including hard drive partitioning)
• TODO – what's left to do before moving to production
• Timeline – order in which things need to proceed

• Apache – installation and configuration of Apache web server, including PHP, virtual hosts, etc.
• Blog – currently testing WordPress, to see if we can use it as a CMS
• Content Management System – currently testing Drupal, may change to something else in the future
• Cyrus IMAP – email delivery and access (MDA)
• DNS – caching-only name server (using BIND 9)
• Firewall – we're using PCX Firewall to configure iptables
• Logging – what is logged, to where, reports, and to whom
• Mailing Lists – mailing list server (probably Mailman) and web archival
• MySQL – database required by most Open Source projects
• NTP – Network Time Protocol configuration
• Postfix – email transport (SMTP MTA)
• PostgreSQL – database required by some Open Source projects
• SpamAssassin – spam filter
• SSH - a more secure remote access method
• Sudo - so we can grant access without giving away root password (also logs who did what)
• Web Forum – Online web-based forums to dicuss various topics (similar to DISCUSS mailing list)
• Webmin – Web-based system administration
• Webmail – Browser access to mail account
• Web Calendar – Plans calendar or other calendar
• Wiki – currently testing DokuWiki, may change to something else in the future

This section is just so I can test DokuWiki ACLs.

Files in the private namespace should only be readable if you're logged in as admin.

Files in the readonly namespace should readable by anyone, but only writeable by admin.

Thanks for checking the site out. I really like DokuWiki. It looks nice, and it's really easy to use. I wish the PHP code was a little better written. But he's improving it quickly, and the code isn't that bad.

We need some links to test this thing out!

• Cool Stuff - a link to a page that exists
• Lame Stuff - a link to a page that doesn't exist yet

We need to point to the DokuWiki syntax somewhere in our "chrome". Doh! It's right up there in the header of the edit page. I guess they thought of everything. Except to make it open in a separate window if I've got that feature disabled for the site itself.
