[Mageia-sysadm] Starting to clean the mess of web services

Fri Jan 28 16:24:00 CET 2011

Hi,
+
+as there is a growing number of external tools used all around the
+project for official stuff in some form of anarchy ( the last one I
+discovered today is dlvr.it ), I propose that we add on the wiki the
+list of services used, and who has the password, who created it, etc. 
+
+Later, we should ensure that enough people have the password to prevent
+catastrophic bus error or what happened to the Mandriva twitter account.
+
+And we should better find a way to not have to rely on member memories
+( or "save on my computer" checkbox for question of reliability,
+security, etc, and password management ( like not having to distribute
+to a unspecified list of people ). 
+
+For example, for flickr, we could imagine some kind of system where
+pictures are first uploaded temporarily on our server , and then pushed
+to flickr. So people do not have to use a shared account and we know who
+did what, who is active, etc. 
+
+So the first step for that is to list the service used, it is fast, and
+who currently know the password, I started the list on the wiki :
