Using Wikis and Blogs to Ease Administration (Linux Journal)

[Posted February 27, 2006 by ris]

Linux Journal has a tutorial on TWiki and WordPress and shows how wikis and blogs can be useful for system administration and documentation. "I find that one of the most difficult aspects of system administration is keeping documentation accurate and up to date. Documenting how you fixed a pesky problem today will help you remember how to fix it months later when it occurs again. If you ever have worked with others, you realize how critical good documentation is. Even if you are the only system administrator, you still will reap the benefits of good documentation, even more so if another sysadmin is ever brought on board."

A friend of mine uses twiki to handle all the job requests for his electronics workshop. If it's not in the twiki, it's not done.
