We have currently registered four domains:
The contents of these domains are being managed in a Subversion repository (here is a quick tutorial to get started).
The URL for the repository is:
svn://emagino.net/doctorwhen
Anybody can read the contents of the repository, so don't share this with people outside of GC. However, only a few accounts have an ability to write to the repository, including whuang (Wei-Hwa), ubernaut (Ben), dgreenspan (David), andfurthermore (Dan), and wesley. "wesley" is a generic account and has the same password as access to this wiki. Use it if you really need to change something in a hurry, but if you anticipate actually doing substantial work, please ask Wei-Hwa to create an account for you (the password will be in plaintext, so don't use a secure one).
So, to checkout your own copy, go to any directory on any machine where you can run subversion, and run
svn checkout svn://emagino.net/doctorwhen --username wesley
Make edits in your own place, and then use
svn commit
to commit your changes.
The live servers will reload from the repository every hour. Wei-Hwa can change this or manually reload if necessary.
Swapping Domains
dw = doctorwhen.com tw = trenchwood.com pf = peachfrontier.com im = imopa.info ee = etherealendways.com uc = "under construction" parking page
Before the Game:
- dw -> tw, (teams don't know of the other sites so we don't worry that they'll see them)
During Act I and Act III
- dw -> tw, pf -> uc, im -> uc, ee -> uc
During Act II
- dw -> pf, tw -> uc, ee -> uc
During Denouement
- dw -> ee, tw -> uc, pf -> uc, im -> uc
After the Game:
- dw -> ee
Scripts that do this need to be run by Wei-Hwa on the server. Code is at: /home/whuang/dw-web-scripts.txt
