The development server is ​kiwi.transitionnetwork.org, it's a encrypted 40G debian virtual machine with 1Gb of dedicated RAM. The encryption key can be shared with others if needs be, there is a ssh account on the physical machine that can be used to reboot and decrypt the machine. The physical server that virtual machine is running on has quad Intel Xeon 2.00GHz 64bit processors, 16Gb RAM, the host OS debian is running on a pair of mirrored 73Gb SAS disks and the virtual machines on a pair of mirrored 2Tb SATA disks.

There are ​remote munin stats for the server available, these include memory usage and cpu usage stats. The stats are also ​available from the server itself and the server hosts ​munin stats for the live server, transitiontowns.gaiahost.coop.

The development server has a development, ​http://dev.transitionnetwork.org/, and a testing, ​http://test.transitionnetwork.org/, version of the live server set-up. The test, dev and live code bases are currently kept in ​this subversion repository but the plan is to migrate it to the ​Trac svn repo.
