LOL Ummm only Subversion... Our big goal within the next month or two
is to re-architect everything and how it's working. All of us (5
currently including the IT Director) have been brought in within the
last 3 months after the Big Boss decided to let all of our
predecessors go in one fell swoop (apparently they weren't meeting the
milestones that they had set and for good reason as I'm finding out
lol) and they pretty much piece-mealed our whole setup together as
that particular need arose (they started with only a single server
running everything - web, mail, db, dns - about 18 months ago). So one
of our "by the end of the year" goals is to get everything organized
properly and have some semblance of structure and a better, more
streamlined process put into place...
*sigh*
