[wp-docs] Codex Down Planning Session

[Lorelle VanFossen]

While I was gone, racing towards Memphis, Tennessee, only to have 
Hurricane Dennis follow us and leave a few inches of rain (much needed 
from the news reports) and some blowing winds, I want to thank everyone 
for helping cover the Codex and all.  Thank you muches.

Now that I've returned back to my home-not-home of Mobile, where the 
damage for the most part was minimal, I find that another hurricane hit 
the Codex.  I've posted other resources and how to access the Codex via 
Google Cache, but I would like to put a plan together that includes 
releasing such information on the Forum and how to handle this in the 
future.

Here is my general outline and please add and let's (eventually) put 
this on the Codex and keep it in our files when it is all put together 
so we know how to handle the next "Codex is down" report.

1. Assign "Codex Down" representation to four people who will notify 
Matt and then alert the others of such notification so Matt isn't 
overwhelmed. Consider: Carthik, Lorelle, Skippy, Podz - but that's open 
for debate. I think one or two others in reserve might be good, like 
Westi and....well, I hate naming names but we need some backups in case 
one or more of the first four are absent on vacation or hurricane runs.

2. Two volunteer representatives who will post a note onto the Forum 
explaining that the Codex is down and following something similar to 
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/39173 - we need more and/or better 
resources. It's a mess and needs fixing.

3. Posting to the Docs Mailing list, as Matt has just done, is 
WONDERFUL. Thank you.  We need such alerts to continue.

4. Consider the possibility of creating mirror sites?

Now, what else should be part of our plan for "Codex is down" and 
continuing to provide help and support to users?
