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. |
|||
<OL> |
|||
<LI>Put docs, passwords and other information onto a protected area of |
|||
teamwiki. |
|||
<LI>Put the information onto public wiki, and use encryption such as |
|||
gpg to encipher sensitive data such as passwords. |
|||
<LI>Use git, and rely on git access controls for protection. Possibly transclude git to wiki. |
|||
<LI>Put data into a text file on the root directory of a machine. |
|||
</OL> |

Please edit and add arguments pro and con. |
