This page lists the hardware, software, web sites, projects and tools supported by the Freegle-Tech team. Please also see the http://frgl.it/TechTasks tasks list of things to do (and some done). This page needs expanded as and when we have time to fill in the details - this is an important task to ensure that Tech knowledge and procedures are documented and passed on as far as possible.

See here for a list of regular-ish Tech Jobs.

Access details and locations of crucial files etc will not detailed here.

Documentation often gets out of date, or is incomplete in the first place, so consider this a guide for you to scout around, not a definitive statement of fact.

ModTools

ModTools helps you moderate Freegle or other reuse groups hosted on Yahoo! Groups. It can also be used to moderate other Yahoo Groups. It's the replacement for the Firefox Moderation Plugin (modplugin).

It gives you an interface aimed at moderators - easily see all your messages in one place, and do what you need to do with a single click.

Here is a link to Modtools Wiki: http://wiki.modtools.org

Access keys

These are used by the modplugin. Find out more http://wiki.modplugin.org/index.php/Access_Keys here.

Spammers

There's a group where you can report spammers - it's http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FCMODSpammers. This helps keep the mails about them off the main groups like Central.

If you use the modplugin, it can scan your group automatically for spammers - see here.
