I think it would make sense to host it ourselves, however I'm not aware of any documentation of the Replicant infrastructure. Here's what I know of it so far: - Redmine is hosted by the OSUOSL and we can contact them through mail for issues, maintenance operations, and other technical interventions. The Redmine version is probably still very old and outdated. Note that I didn't check the version recently so I might be wrong on that. - Wordpress (the blog) is also hosted by OSUOSL, so they can be contacted the same way. It however contains a plugin to auto-update itself, in order not to be permanently exposed on the Internet with known security issues. - The mailing list is also hosted at OSUOSL. I don't know more on that. - The git infrastructure is as I understand hosted on machines located at the FSF. Some actual or former key developers have or had SSH access to it but that's all I know. - The IRC channel is hosted at Freenode, and I don't know who can manage it. - I don't know how the domain name, mail redirection, and TLS certificates are managed. Maybe hosting a patchwork instance could be done on the same hardware that hosts the git repository. It would be nice to consider whether or not to move services to the machine hosting the git repositories. I also wonder what is best to be able to easily change things and handle daily operations such as security updates: - OSUOSL, which may be long to act on things - Replicant developers and community who already don't have a lot of free time. - Since part of the infrastructure is hosted at the FSF, is it also administrated by some of the FSF staff? How does that work? Denis.
