This is an ongoing task, planned to be completed during the current maemo.org development sprint. Any help is appreciated! Please see the talk page for discussion. |

This is a list of maemo.org processes, infrastructure and applications which require documentation, because only one or two people know how to do it.
The goal is to make sure that no-one on the team is indispensable, and that the "bus factor" on every component of maemo.org is greater than one - that is, that there is no component where only one person knows how it works and can fix it when it breaks. This is a list of documents we should have, categorised (roughly) by the person who knows the information to document.
sysadmin (Ferenc)
- What servers are in the maemo.org infrastructure?
- What services are running on maemo.org?
- Who has access to the servers with admin privileges to the various services?

- What do you do when the autobuilder goes down? (Asked by Jeremiah, FAQ from community)
- What tools are there to diagnose a problem with package submission? (FAQ: "Is the builder working, or just slow?")
- How are packages promoted from extras-devel to extras-testing, and then to extras? (Asked by Jeremiah, community FAQ)
