ServerToDo < Org

This is the technical "To Do list" for the new GNHLUG InternetServer.  Add and update as you like!

See also ServerGoals, which is more administrative/political.

%TOC%

---++ Base Configuration

   * Document ServerBackups
   * Monitoring
      * Internal monitoring of both hardware and software health
         * Hardware: Temperature, fan speed, etc.
         * Software: Disk space, system load, RAID status, etc.
      * Notification mechanisms are still vague
         * I think we have two different mailing lists (for redundency)...?
         * Some kind of pager/SMS notification would be nice
      * More sophisticated outside probes
         * more then just a simple ping or TCP connect
         * SMTP relay test?
         * check a web page time stamp?
   * [[ServerUpdates#Permissions][Installing RPM updates may clobber custom permissions]]

---++ Mail services and mailing lists

See ServerMail for details, planning, and discussion on all this.

   * Figure out what to do with system mail.
   * Archives have a few broken messages from the migration.
   * Recover mail lost when archives were busted.
   * More sophisticated anti-spam solutions.
   * Should we switch from Sendmail to Postfix/Exim/whatever?
   * Better mail list archives (vs stock GNU Mailman)
      * Doesn't split messages properly when rebuilding (see ServerMailLists)
      * Email address obfuscation (against spammer address harvesting)
      * Search
      * Public archives
      * Easier/better/nicer navigation
      * Options to consider:
         * http://www.sympa.org/
         * http://www.mhonarc.org/
         * http://www.namazu.org/

---++ New applications

There are applications of the technology that could really benefit us.

   * Automated meeting announcements (yippie!)
   * Dedicated calendar software (integrated with the above)
   * Web-based job database (job seekers and job openings), easily postable and searchable without needing a mailing list.
   * Poll/survey software
   * RSVP software for the meetings

You get the idea.  Suggestions welcome.
