The web site task involves:

  • hosting the web site, keeping the machine running: Brett Wuth, formerly: Pat Neumann
  • providing the pcsar.dyndns.org domain name: Brett Wuth, formerly: Pat Neumann
http://dyndns.org gives, as a free service, a DNS record for machines with a dynamic IP address. We use this service to attach pcsar.dyndns.org to Brett Wuth's machine. The debian package ipcheck provides a script to update the DNS entry. The files in /etc/ipcheck and /etc/cron.d/dyndns and /etc/cron.daily/dyndns.org arrange to update the DNS registration once a day (if needed). pcsar.dyndns.org is registered under Brett Wuth's dyndns account. Brett has the password. The password is stored in /etc/ipcheck/acct so that it can be used by the ipcheck package.
  • maintaining the web server software: Brett Wuth
  • maintaining the static web site content: Brett Wuth
  • organizing the dynamic (wiki) web site content: Brett Wuth but anyone else can and should jump in at any time.
  • promoting the use of the web site: Brett Wuth. I'm not doing this very well so far.
