The code hasn't changed significantly in a long time. The most recent changes were tweaks to get the site working when we switched providers in 2013. I guess we could throw it up on github or something. How private can you make github repositories?

So a little roll call for the code monkeys (which I say with great deference): Scola, DXM, Jon B., shrift, Typo, Matt H., Gud, Mr. Burrell et al.

Do you have access to the code? Can you fix it if it goes awry?

Thanks, Tom. I was figuring you would know.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I was thinking of Bitbucket -- their private repos are free for up to 5 users, and features are pretty comparable to GH without all the social stuff (that we don't need anyway)

More important, IMHO, is making sure the database is getting backed up regularly.

Agreed, Tom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Liese has been in the Dreamhost account this week, for what that's worth. We're upgrading our account a little.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Yep. I have access to the code. I guess that means I also have access to the data (since the code contains the mysql login info), but I've never messed with the data.

Jon, Liese, I'm so glad -- it's possible that I think too much about bus factors, but, you know, busses.
