analytics

by Matthew Senate

someone had set up (but never configured and implemented) an open source analytics solution for sudoroom.org called piwik http://piwik.org/ do we have interest in running an analytics solution to have better information to improve user experience for the site? I'd consider setting it up, but don't have strong feelings at the moment. I'm inclined to have less data about users, but having some data could be valuable to provide better service. what do folks think? There are other open source web analytics options too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_analytics_software#Free_.2F_Open_…

Website Upgrades

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, I'm working on a series of upgrades for the website. Testing out a new wordpress theme and event management / calendaring plugin on our development site. Please take a look: http://dev.sudoroom.org/ I plan to have www.sudoroom.org direct users to a landing page on this site, with clear donation and calendar information, rather than directing them to the wiki (as it does now). I'll also need a few people to help migrate content, is anyone interested? No coding skills required, just copying old event information into the new event form so we can preserve the historical data. // Matt

Why can't we just work to put clear donation and calendar information on the wiki? You probably know that my preference has been to deprecate wordpress and eventually move everything onto the wiki. I put a lot of work into that project after first seeking input from everybody else involved. I think the wiki format has potential to be more transparent and hierarchical.

I suppose we'd never get rid of wordpress entirely since we already have a rich blog history, so it just makes sense to use its other strengths too. I still am apprehensive about other things creeping out of the wiki and onto the wordpress, and information being duplicated in both places. I hope we can stay vigilant about that. I apologize for what must come off as a series of terse negative emails the past few days. I know this is a critical formative time for Sudo and I hope to be more available to help in depth again sometime soon.

My two concerns are: 1) We should not share a wordpress admin account passwords on a public mailing list. Admin accounts are able to modify files on the server and execute arbitrary code. This creates a very easy way for anybody on the internet to pwn our entire web server and attack our users. 2) We should not serve the dev site on http or encourage users to create accounts in cleartext. I can move it seamlessly to https://sudoroom.org/dev/ with your consent. I think we owe our users better than this, especially since we've taught some of them to use Tor at our cryptoparties. They have trusted us with email addresses and passwords in (among other things) the blog, wiki, and mailman. This puts them and us at risk. It also nullifies a lot of past time and effort that's gone into keeping our server secure.

New Calendar w/ Booking, Recurring Events, and Feeds (ical)

by Matthew Senate

http://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/ coupled with the jquery ui fullcalendar plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fullcalendar/ we have a potentially vastly improved calendaring system. You can see it here: http://dev.sudoroom.org/calendar create your own account on the dev.sudoroom.org site using: user: sudoer pass: superuserdoroom // Matt

Mozilla is no longer developing it, and while they still host the servers, the most they can say is that decommissioning "will absolutely not happen in 2014." :P http://identity.mozilla.com/post/78873831485/transitioning-persona-to-commu…

It didn't go through the first time because Jacob's email was the admin contact in whois, Godaddy sent him a confirmation link, and he never clicked it. So I changed the admin contact to be info(a)sudoroom.org and tried again. Which was a mistake because it apparently triggered a 60-day transfer lock, so Godaddy won't let us try again until mid-June.
