Please don't use this wiki for things that are not specifically related to web development, use the wiki.transitionnetwork.org site.

Welcome to Transition Technology

This is the web development management site for the Transition Network it is used for tickets, documentation, time and code management.

For a complete list of local wiki pages, see TitleIndex.

Communication

The Transition Technology group works like a free / open source software project, we do most our activity in public, on this wiki and ticketing system. The key meetings are documented on the web project blog.

Other channels of communication are: Registrar Change Notification

Some background documents on how open projects work:

Website developers/designers: start here

Our documentation of the main Transition Network website covers everything you need if you're a designer or developer on the Transition Technologists Team.
Don't do anything without reading the docs first :)

Servers and Websites

The Transition Network rents Debian virtual servers from the Webarchitects Co-operative, which are powered by Good Energy, these servers run multiple free libre open source software applications.

Trac Wiki and Tickets

We use Trac for time and ticket management.

See wiki:WikiFormatting and wiki:TracWiki for help on editing wiki content, please note that:

  • This wiki uses CamelCase for pages, don't create all lower case page names or pages with underscores or dashes in them as this breaks automatic links.
  • Trac ticket usernames are cases sensitive, all the current usernames are all lower case.

See TransitionTrac for Transition Trac information including ticket management and time management.
