[Casper] internal documentation

[Thomas Larkin]

Hi everyone: 

This has come up in discussion lately and well I have had this conversation before.  How do you all document what you do with Casper and your OS X Servers, images, client configurations etc? 

I have a lot of bad habits when it comes to being a Sys Admin.  I openly admit that.  For example if permissions are botched on a package, instead of me recreating the package (which is the proper way) I will just write a one or two line script that fixes the problem and then attach it to a Casper policy.   Thanks to the divine wisdoms of the Jamf software crew at the CCA training last summer I no longer do that.  Mainly it is so the next guy/gal who comes in to work at my current place of work isn't lost with tons of different things I do.  I am the type of person that will script out everything in a shell script if I can. 

So, when you all build packages a certain way do you document it for your co-workers?  Do you have a wiki?  Do you take screen shots?   

I know this isn't really about Casper, but more of a question do you document your work with Casper.   

If you want to take this conversation off list feel free and you can email me directly. 

I would like to sometime implement a wiki for internal use where I can document how I do stuff so if I ever go on vacation, leave, or whatever the people I work with aren't left in the dark.  Plus it gives me something to do, and I do kind of enjoy writing. 

Thanks 

Tom
