by On the subject of tools and hints;
I’ve been using tools like Faq-O-Matic on the job for years, to attempt to capture all those little things that you can never quite remember. Lately, again at work, I put together a large TWiki based FAQ for users and administrators. I used TWiki simply because it was the tool the local engineers were using and I was the one maintaining the server. 😉
Recently, I decided it was time to start gathering some of my many little, non-work specific notes onto a public wiki, using MediaWiki. If you are curious, come check out The System Adminstrator’s Zone. It only a week or so old and is in a very raw state. I’m not sure I’m happy with the structure, but I am open to suggestions.
I’m hoping to talk my son into working on a custom skin for it, while I look into developing some templates to ease the submission and correlation process.
