Probably any php security issues should be watched. We do use a mysql
database for this application, so probably good to keep that backed up
from time to time. The only other maintenance is updates to
sticky-notes. I suspect we'll probably want to purge the pastes at
some point in time, so there might be a need for a cron job to do such
a thing.

Yes, there is a place to do that in the admin.

We should probably investigate and document the best configs for the
Project Honey Pot configuration. I also understand that Fedora Project
will need an account at http://www.projecthoneypot.org/httpbl_api.php
to use the honey pot.

I know, right!?

I'm a big fan of https://paste.fedoraproject.org but
http://fedoraproject.org/paste is fine as well.

What value would this gain us? I suppose if a ton of people were
visiting a specific paste right after it was posted, we could see a
performance benefit.

I took a look last night at fpaste and was able to hack it to work
with the development version of sticky-notes. From what I can tell the
old fpaste.org did things differently in terms of return details and
such. I'm planning on submitting the patches upstream today.

The fpaste client is written to work specifically with fpaste.org and
not much else. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I just don't know
if it would be better to just create fedpaste and have it provide
fpaste or something like that going forward. I think I want to ask the
maintainer of fpaste how they would like to proceed and see where we
go from there.

Cheers,
