Internet services run out of the Linux Lab

Web sites

• http://computing.physics.cornell.edu - Why not use CU Blogs instead?
• http://webmail.physics.cornell.edu - Email services being provided - why?http://pages.physics.cornell.edu/ - free personal webhost for users with SQL being provided - why?
• Direct, open-to-the-world SSH services being provided to ALL workstations and servers - why?
• http://www.eyh.cornell.edu/ - Expand Your Horizons - why can't this be run of one of CIT's web services or by CCMR who is the official departmental owner of this group.

Email (via web site)

• http://webmail.physics.cornell.edu - Email services being provided - why?

Other internet services

Oliver's recommendation:

• Look at options and decide how to sustain. One efficient way to do this (at least for the web sites) is to have the stakeholders consult with CIT's ATC.
  • The ATC site states, "Academic Technologies offers services such as non-intensive website support and hosting." And it's free.
    • http://www.it.cornell.edu/services/atc/
  • As part of looking at options, characterize the purpose the present sites serve.
  • Whatever is decided, clarify any obligations for those hosting and maintaining the site. Ensure fair remuneration to sustain the site as-is and/ or migrate it as appropriate.
  • Consider informing Tricia (A&S Communications) so they are at least aware of the need, and especially as it might relate to the current departmental Physics site and it's proposed future.
