This is a list of maemo.org processes, infrastructure and applications which require documentation, because only one or two people know how to do it.

The goal is to make sure that no-one on the team is indispensable, and that the "bus factor" on every component of maemo.org is greater than one - that is, that there is no component where only one person knows how it works and can fix it when it breaks. This is a list of documents we should have, categorised (roughly) by the person who knows the information to document.
