+Dump of https://we.riseup.net/ircd/todo
+
+this is incomplete because each of those tasks have a "hidden"
+description that pops up when you click on each link, and that is a
+real pain in the ass to move out.
+
+besides, those tasks are *old* and we are making a fresh start in:

+for now, i will assume that guerin will be dismantled, and i am building an alternative on chat1.koumbit.net, and documenting everything here.

+atheme running 7.0.7 on chat1.koumbit.net.
+
+i’ve created a task for running backups and marked the fallback procedure as closed because we.riseup.net/ircd/services should cover most of it for now.

+backups running at koumbit. note that primary backups are accessible from the host, so a host compromise can also compromise the backups, but that allows us to access them as well, see motd. koumbit has offsite backups of those primary backups to recover in case of host compromise, as support@Koumbit.org if necessary.

+
+i have migrated some docs from the old wiki here:
+
+    docs.indymedia.org/Sysadmin/IrcdNetwork – mostly a rewrite, in we.riseup.net/ircd/servers
+    docs.indymedia.org/Sysadmin/IrcdProcess – simply dropped to the ground and made another todo here to figure out what the heck is our process anyways
+    docs.indymedia.org/Sysadmin/IrcDMeetings – ignored
+    docs.indymedia.org/Sysadmin/SecureIRC – ignored, probably totally outdated. would be good to created a user guide for secure-only channels and tor
+    docs.indymedia.org/Sysadmin/IrcdSetup – totally outdated, needs to be documented in we.riseup.net/ircd/servers
+    docs.indymedia.org/Sysadmin/IrcHowTo – needs a total review and overall, not imported – would need to be public anyways
+    docs.indymedia.org/Sysadmin/IrcAttack – similar – should be on a public site too
+
+That about covers the old docs, i think we can mark that as resolved, since i don’t think any user was really using those docs (they were not linked anywhere).

+I tried enabling the tor HS on all nodes and it didn’t go quite as expected. I’ve added some details to the todo point.
