Infrastructure Team

The Infrastructure Team is responsible for hosting, server administration, domains, uptime, etc




Release responsibilities

  1. Progressively update all *.tiki.org sites to the new version. The ultimate DogFood!
    • The goal is that all major sites are upgraded before it's released.
      • Order is Branding, Themes, Documentation, Community, Development, Profiles, Info.
  2. Monitor for broken links, performance regressions, etc.
  3. Update official version numbers up to date (which is where all the Tikis connect to know if they should update).


Ongoing responsibilities

This page is to coordinate work and list requests about various aspects of *.tiki.org sites and community tools

This has previously been done by email. We will do it wiki way so at any given time, we'll know what needs to be done.

This is not a list of feature requests, which should be done at: http://dev.tiki.org.(external link) If it's Tiki bug, it's ok to put below but with a link to dev.tiki.org as well but know that while the infrastructure team can help detect/confirm a bug, it is not expected to correct bugs, but to update the sites as soon as they are corrected.

Do not put any security or sensitive info below. Instead, contact http://security.tiki.org

1. Hosting the *.tiki.org sites

  • Monitoring uptime with help from AvonSys(external link)

2. Maintain list of hacks adaptations to Tiki sites, or use SVN or TRIM.

In the past, it's happened that we had specialized changes to Tiki (ex.: message templates, custom plugins, etc.). And then, sometimes, these get wiped with a clean install of Tiki. While we should try to stay as close as possible to Tiki code dogfood, when we do not, it should be documented or we use TRIM/SVN and have it make a report of all diffs (or something)

Rewrite Rule collisions

http://tiki.org/stats(external link) gives me error but http://tiki.org/Stats(external link) is ok.

htaccess
Please create the wiki pages if the access has been or should be modified
  • htaccess doc?
  • htaccess dev? (will need calendar redirect)
  • htaccess community?
  • htaccess profiles?
  • htaccess info?
  • htaccess themes?

3. Keep all sites up to date & making Intertiki work


4. Backups

  • Each host should make send backups to another. Can be done by TRIM

5. Manage DNS, domain name and email accounts

  • Managing the DNS info for the various Domains (changi)
  • Hosting email MarcLaporte
  • SSL (changi)

6. purge spammer accounts from tiki.org

These are accounts created but the email was not validated

7. Maintain Pre-Dogfood server



Fix and close


1. transition from tikiwiki.org to tiki.org



2. Activate the removal of www for all sites

New option in Admin -> General -> Navigation "Domain prefix handling" which would be nicer than the "Are you lost ?" at http://www.doc.tiki.org/(external link)

3. Clean up permissions on tiki.org

Tiki.org has a lot of legacy perms. Ex.: workspace (aulawiki), homework, jukebox, etc. They should be removed from http://tiki.org/tiki-objectpermissions.php(external link) along with any assignments. Todo: Take a Tiki 5.x clean install, and compare.

4. Images lost on dev.tw.o

See here: http://dev.tiki.org/TrackerFieldUIRevamp(external link)
Image missing:
http://dev.tiki.org/img/wiki_up/trackerui1.png(external link)

and two images here: http://dev.tiki.org/Translation+Editor+Revamp(external link) (tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=88) perhaps issue between 5.0 and 5.1 ?

More here:
http://dev.tiki.org/Code+Howto:+Copy+reproduce+a+change+from+one+branch+to+another(external link)

Still available for old server. (ask Marc for access)




5. Rewrite Rules

I posted a comment here(external link) with a link to http://doc.tiki.org/categories(external link) and I get http://doc.tiki.org/tiki-browse_categories.php(external link) instead of http://doc.tiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=categories(external link)

same problem with http://doc.tiki.org/calendar(external link)

dev is ok:
http://dev.tiki.org/categories(external link)



6. dev.tiki.org -> delete from user list all users that are not necessary here

http://dev.tiki.org/wish1128(external link)


7. Delete a pic

http://tiki.org/img/wiki_up//spiderdog_in_action.png(external link)

8. Move calendar data from dev to info site

Check with Rick 1st

With a persistent rewrite rule . Now: Upcoming Events


Major projects

1. Dogfood Forum and List Synchronization between tw.o forums and SourceForge Mailing Lists

http://dev.tiki.org/wish2282(external link)

2. Dogfood TRIM

All our Domains and the Pre-Dogfood Server should be managed with TRIM

3. Round Robin / Redundancy / Disaster planning for all *.tiki.org content

TRIM handles backups so offsite backups are inherent. Not as important to have Round Robin / Redundancy / Disaster planning for all *.tiki.org content.


4. Help with sites revamp


5. Implement Single Sign On (SSO) on 6 main sites.

This will likely be done after we move to suite.tiki.org for OpenLDAP. And then, we can set up CAS.

6. Code stats



7. Activate mindmap on some tiki.org sites

http://tiki.org/tiki-mindmap.php(external link) too much data? freezes Flash...
http://profiles.tiki.org/tiki-mindmap.php(external link) squished top left
http://dev.tiki.org/tiki-mindmap.php(external link) too much data? freezes Flash...
http://doc.tiki.org/tiki-mindmap.php(external link) too much data? freezes Flash...

Tiki bug or server issue?



8. Community Mail Server

This will move to suite.tiki.org.
