We can always use !SysAdmin support to help out with our infrastructure: developing tools & maintaining sites.

== Setting up a New Instance ==
Eden project have 2 servers kindly donated by [http://zen.co.uk Zen Internet].[[BR]]
These run KVM to provide different virtual machines.[[BR]]
We use [http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Installation#Fully_virtualized_Machines_.28KVM.29 Proxmox] to manage these VMs[[BR]]

== Upgrading an Instance ==
Need to decide whether the site will be upgraded straight from Trunk, or whether upgrades are staged via a Test server.

We manage upgrades using Fabfile.
 1. Add the site to fabile.py
 2. If no keys generated yet, then generate some:
{{{
fab generate_keys
}}}
 3. deploy keys
{{{
fab <site> distribute_keys
}}}
 4. Run the upgrade (as/when required)
{{{
fab <site> deploy
}}}

== !ToDo ==

=== Test ===
 * Set up an instance of Hudson to automatically run through our [DeveloperGuidelinesTesting#FunctionalTests Selenium tests]

=== Demo ===
 * Have a set of reference data available

=== Pootle ===
 * Upgrade to 2.1.4 (from 2.1.1)

=== Trac ===
 * Upgrade to 0.12.1
  * Check Plugin Dependencies
 * Convert from sqlite to PostgreSQL (or MySQL) to improve performance
 * Add Timing & Estmation Plugin
 * Investigate a fix or alternative to http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/MathCaptchaPlugin for allowing Trac users to register bugs anonymously whilst not locking out our testing team.
 * See if we can not send emails out to users for the updates they make themselves (maybe fixed in 0.12.x?)
 * Investigate a fix for the last section edit doubling-up the footers (maybe fixed in 0.12.x?)

=== Release Process ===
 * [wiki:DeveloperGuidelinesReleaseProcess#ExportApplication]
 * Bzr start-commit hook to [wiki:DeveloperGuidelinesBzr#ToolsfordirectcommitterstoTrunk check for existence of 'compiled' folder]

=== Translation Process ===
 * Bzr start-commit hook to update all languages (need a script rather than the current appadmin UI method)

cd web2py
python web2py.py -S eden -R applications/eden/static/scripts/tools/languages.py
