who have additional capabilities. You can find the moderators for our lists
[here](http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/pmc-faqs.html#mailing-lists).
+ * Our two websites: [www.openoffice.org](http://www.openoffice.org) and
[openoffice.apache.org](http://openoffice.apache.org). Why two? There is some
logic here,
+although it is not perfectly executed (yet). The www.openoffice.org website
is our primary user-facing website. It is where we put content intended for
end-users
+to use, so downloads, product documentations, support and other related
materials. The openoffice.apache.org website, on the other hand, is the main
portal for
+project members, the contributors to the project. We run the project on
openoffice.apache.org, and the www.openoffice.org website is a service we
provide to users.
+
* MediaWiki (also called MWiki) is used for the wiki on the
[wiki.openoffice.org](http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page) website.
We use MWiki for many of the user-facing pages on the website, especially in
the areas of documentation and support. If you are familiar with Wikipedia and
the syntax used for authoring articles there, then you will find our MediaWiki
very easy to use, since Wikipedia
also uses MediaWiki. If you are new to MediaWiki please read over this
[introduction to the basics](http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing).
- * Confluence Wiki
+ * Confluence Wiki (also called CWiki) is used for some [project management
webpages](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Wiki+Home)
- * Pootle is our translation management server, an online service used by
translators to translate the UI
-and help files of OpenOffice into various languages. Unless you are involved
with translations or builds you
-probably will never use Pootle.
+ * [Pootle](http://translate.apache.org) is our translation management
server, an online service used by translators to translate the UI
+and help files of OpenOffice into various languages. Unless you are involved
with translations or builds you probably will never use Pootle. But you will
hear
+it mentioned on the mailing lists.
- * Apache CMS
+ * Apache CMS (Content Management System) is the software that manages our
websites, including the application of side-wide templates used to apply, for
example,
+the common page footers that occur on each page). There is a web interface
to the Apache CMS that makes it easy to make small updates to a page. If you
are interested
+in adding or editing the website you can watch this video on the [Apache CMS's
Anonymous Mode](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fvg1pfHLhE) now. Otherwise
+this is a valuable skill you can pick up later.
- * Subversion
+ * Subversion is the Version Control System (VCS) used by the project.
Subversion is also its own Apache project. The source code for the OpenOffice
product as well as
+the files for the websites are all stored in Subversion. Developers use
Subversion heavily in their work. Advanced work in QA and bulk website changes
also involve using
+Subversion.
- * phpBB is the software that runs our Community Forums, used for technical
support of our users.
+ * phpBB is the software that runs our [Community
Forums](http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/), used for technical support of
our users.
- * Bugzilla
+ * [Bugzilla](https://issues.apache.org/ooo/) is used to track defect
OpenOffice (bug) report.
- * JIRA
+ * [JIRA](https://issues.apache.org/jira/) is another issue tracking
application. Some Apache projects use JIRA instead of Bugzilla. We mainly use
JIRA when we
+need to raise an issue with another group at Apache that uses JIRA, for
example the Apache Infrastructure Team.
1. The role of the Apache Infrastructure Team (Infra or Infra@)
+The [Infrastructure team](http://www.apache.org/dev/infrastructure.html) are
essentially the system administrators for all Apache-wide servers and services,
including
+many of the services described above. As you can imagine, with all the
projects that are part of Apache, this is huge job. In order to support this
number of projects
+and provide good service levels in this shared infrastructure environment, we
align ourselves with the common services that are made available to other
projects.
+In other words, we have a "menu" of services that we can enable for the
project, and the ability to do some customization, within defined bounds, but
we cannot easily use
+a service outside of that menu.
+
1. What to do if you have a problem:
- * Questions on how to use the service
- * Outages
- * Requests to enhance or modify the service
+ * Questions on how to use the service: First, look for intructions on the
website. If that fails, post a note to the ooo-dev mailing list for hints.
+ * Outages: [Current status](http://monitoring.apache.org/status/) is
posted. You might also want to subscribe to Infra's [Twitter
feed](https://twitter.com/infrabot).
+ If you see an outage not noted there already, you can notify Infra via IRC
channel #asfinfra on Freenode.
+ * Requests to enhance or modify the service: Propose something on ooo-dev.
Even though Infra is required to carry out some tasks, you still should get
consensus
+ first on the project's mailing list.
1. Congratulations! You have completed this Module. Please send a note to
[ooo-...@incubator.apache.org](mailto:ooo-...@incubator.apache.org?subject=Completed
Infrastructure Module) so
we all know you have completed this level. This is also a good opportunity
to send along any feedback or questions you might have on this Orientation
Module.
