---+ Combined To Do List for this entire web site

%TOC%

---++ Intro

See the GNHLUG.GetInvolved page for information on how you can Get Involved in GNHLUG.  That might include helping finish items on this to-do list!

   * WorkingOurWeb - how to make changes to our web pages
   * PlanForOurWeb - guidelines for making changes to our web pages
   * ServerToDo - non-web tasks that need doing (mail, DNS, backups, etc.)

---++ Search and FIXME

[[%SCRIPTURLPATH%/search/Org/?scope=text&search=FIXME&web=all][Search for the literal string "FIXME"]] to find specific things we know
need doing.

For something localized to particular page, just add the string "FIXME" nearby so we can search for it.  No sense in coming here, adding a note here, just so the next person has to go back there, make a change there, then come back here to make a change here.  Just let search find it, and keep track of it where the problem is.  Use this page for things that span multiple pages (even all of them), and don't lend themselves to a localized focus.  Make exceptions when sensible, such as for layout pages where "FIXME" would break everything.

---++ Content

Content being the "meat" of a site, not the software that runs the site.  Content is the reason we have a website in the first place.

   * update the GNHLUG web to reflect current "deep hibernation" status of many things
   * there are tons of incomplete, missing, or otherwise broken pages in the GNHLUG
      * vague -- can we be more specific?
   * we should have more on our organization structure (or lack there-of)
   * the GNHLUG.FreeSoftware page could be added to
      * on the other hand, other sites already do this -- why re-invent the wheel?
      * add our own commentary on Linux/Unix history (esp. the origins of Unix at Bell Labs)
      * how Free Software principles created the Internet
      * how Free Software powers much of the Internet today
      * how Free Software can work as a business model
      * how Free Software can work for users
      * how Free Software can work for developers

---++ Layout

Look and feel, aesthetics, etc.  How content looks, but not the content itself.

   * turn on Table Of Contents generally
   * all WebLeftBar
      * hide for non-admin: Prefs
      * hide for guests: Create, Notifications
   * TWiki.WebTopBar
      * some kind of GNHLUG logotype would be nice

---++ Internals

Nut and bolts, wiki software, web server config, etc.  This is not the reason for having a website -- this lets us have a website.

   * site overloads - reduced, but likely not eliminated; see ServerOverloads
   * misc issues
      * WebSearchAttachments sometimes shows red-link, but apparently should be a feature
      * cron job =gnhlug_maint= is noisy always, want normal=quiet trouble=noisy
      * add =nofollow= tags to manual edit links (e.g. home page tables) - I think I got them all?
   * test email notifications
      * changes, watchlist, WebNotify, whatever
      * mail to OrgList in particular
   * TWiki.TWikiPlugins
      * consider adding
         * TWiki:Plugins.RedirectPlugin
         * TWiki:Plugins.ImagePlugin
         * TWiki:Plugins.StopWikiWordLinkPlugin - so words like PostScript do not auto WikiLink
         * TWiki:Plugins.BlackListPlugin if our registration barrier fails to keep out abuse
   * WebStatistics
      * we are rotating TWiki log files daily, a custom cfg =LogFileGlob= was needed
      * will need to set up compression of logs after about 45 days
      * also want to import our old logs for statistics processing
         * I've got years worth of logs unpacked to =twiki6/log/old/=
         * the =bin/statistics= grinds for much longer now, but still only generates stats for this month
         * if I pass the =logdata= parameter, it creates a table entry for that month, but with this month's stats
      * =switch2yearlystats= was run but it just dumped everything into WebStatistics0000 instead of proper by-year like WebStatistics2012
      * =convert_stats_twiki6= was run but I am not sure it did the right thing
      * operator error is a possibility
