Tech Responsibilities

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.

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Documentation often gets out of date, or is incomplete in the first place, so consider this a guide for you to scout around, not a definitive statement of fact.
