Other persons involved before:
Project was initially managed in Redmine hosted by Activeark. Redmine's issue tracking was replaced with MeeGo's Bugzilla at http://bugs.meego.com. In Bugzilla, site bugs are categorized under product "developer.meego.com".
Drupal source is managed by using GIT. *Source code is public and should be available at Gitorious*. See link for the repository: http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-web-infrastructure/meego-developer-website
Michael R. Shaver from Intel is responsible for hosting. There is plans to move hosting at Oregon State University (OSU), the status can be followed in bug #12683.
Production and staging environment
Production and staging environment are in the same server. No passwords are used, instead we are using SSH public keys which should be provided to Michael when server access is needed.
Production site is mapped to document root " /home/developer.meego.com/www/developer.meego.com " and uses " dev_meego " database/name. Folder is linked to repository and should contain latest stable snapshot of site.
Staging site is mapped to document root " /home/developer.meego.com/www/dev.developer.meego.com " and uses " dev_dev_mego " database/name. Folder is linked to repository and has latest state of the site.
Development environment
No centralized development environment provided. Development happens locally.
Intel is currently responsible of hosting. The contact person for hosting is *Michael R. Shaver* from Intel.
Site uses Drupal's default structure, collation, storage engine.
Staging site is not using shared tables.
Production site is using following database settings:
$db_prefix = array( 'default' => '', 'users' => 'meego.', 'authmap' => 'meego.', 'openid_associations' => 'meego.', 'profile_fields' => 'meego.', 'profile_values' => 'meego.', );
Note! When synchronizing content from production site, you will be required to set node.uid to value 1 and clear cache to ensure availability of content. Nodes doesn't get loaded when user is not available (uids are different in production since we're sharing users table!).
Site is using Drupal's distribution *Pressflow* , because of better performance. Project uses PHPTemplate as template engine.
Modules
Contributed modules are located in @./sites/all/modules/contrib@. Custom modules are located in @./sites/all/modules/custom@. Modified contributed modules are located in @./sites/all/modules/modified-contrib@.
Most of custom modules are generated by Features module, but they might contain also alternative code in .module files made by developers.
