What the heck?

We're not quite sure yet what these pages should contain. Here are some questions that should be answered for each application:

Deployment Questions

• what languages are needed and their version
  • if python, what python modules - can they be run in a virtualenv
  • if perl, what cpan modules are needed
  • if php, what php version and what php.ini entries are needed
• what is the command line parameters to start the web service
• does it have any special configuration or init files
  • How are those backed up?
• does it require root or sudo

• will it generate/use temp files or non-database assets?
  • which of those need to be backed up?
  • how is that done?
• what version of mysql and what database config, where is the sql to init the tables

• does memcached have a min/max memory? which processes read/write to it - can it be on different IP

Maintenance Questions
