Proposal to fix Design Team group
Recently the Design team moved their materials to a git repo managed
in Fedora Hosted. The old location served from /srv/groups on the
fedorapeople.org box, however, likely has many incoming links from the
wiki and elsewhere which will now be broken.
Design team assets are used widely throughout the project. Getting
things from git is a substantially high bar to set for a random
contributor (more so with a random person looking to use the free
assets we champion). Although there is a git browser, it's still much
easier for someone to understand a simple web directory page, or even
use existing instructions to hook their desktop to the team depot via
SFTP. So I'd like to propose a way of making the original location
work as a git clone with a timed pull that keeps the content fairly
fresh.
(0) (optional, and might already have been done) We might want to see
if there is any packing that could be done on the Design team's
git repo to minimize its size.
(1) The quota for the designteam area should be raised to
approximately 8 GB. Currently the full repo size is 4.8 GB and
we should plan some room for growth.
(2) I can set up the right puppet bits to do a timed pull of the repo
into /srv/groups/designteam, although I may need some help if my
access allows me to sudo on fedorapeople.org. (I have
sysadmin{,-noc,-test,-insight} and designteam group membership.)
I've done something similar for Insight now so I believe I can do
the same without much trouble for this purpose.
This should restore all broken links and also keep the content fresh
for more casual consumers of this content. +/-1, and please
counter-suggest if you're -1. Thanks for reading!
