2017 Crash Recovery

Early 2017, we suffered from a crash that made XSF loose most infrastructure. Since then, most functionality has been restored. This is a list of remnants:

• The Observatory should be restored.
• The Editors need to sort out a system for the attic.
• The XEP list page needs to be regenerated when appropriate.
• The wiki should be able to send email.
• Website updates should be published automatically ( https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/issues/319 )
• Chat logs should be accessible via the website again ( https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/issues/330 )

Services

1. In order to be listed here: http://xmpp.org/resources/public-services/
2. An operator should do the following: http://xmpp.org/resources/public-services/registration/
3. And then we should do this: http://xmpp.org/resources/public-services/verification/

We should automate this. Mitchel Constantin, David Banes and Mike Taylor have expressed an interest.
