Ok when testing a project it is important to update the /etc/motd file with the following information: [fas username] - [date started] [date updated] project title - project summary directories/areas looked at. Example: Project Owner: smooge - Started: 2010-12-31 Updated: 2010-01-30 gnusong - a project to digitize the reading of all source code to a dance beat. /usr/local/bin, /srv/web/songs 1) Systems that DO NOT have updated motd's will be wiped, reinstalled to a fresh state and turned off until an RFR is needed for it. Systems whose last update was over 90 days will also be subject to wiping/reinstall/turn off. 2) publictest systems are NOT backed up. they are test/scratch systems that are meant for eventual integration with some sort of development/staging infrastructure. 3) due to communal nature of systems, people need to work together on them to make sure they are not overwriting and beating each other up. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
