Currently most sysadmin documentation is on OLPC internal wiki, which is generally only open to NDA'ed employees and select contractors.

Here are some proposals on how to publish and protect i-g documentation.

1) Put docs, passwords and other information onto a protected area of
teamwiki.

2) Put the information onto public wiki, and use encryption such as
gpg to encipher sensitive data such as passwords.

3) Use git, and rely on git access controls for protection.

4) Put data into a text file on the root directory of a machine.

Please edit and add arguments pro and con.
