Configuration documentation (Was Re: GitLab is down: urgent)

[howard.b.golden at gmail.com]

Hi Richard, Gershom and Ben,

I have access to the server that runs the Haskell wiki. There are other
websites on that server as well. I can document them as well. I know
that Gershom B. has done most (all?) of the work on that server. I ask
him and the haskell.org committee to send me or point me at whatever
documentation they have already.

I ask Ben and others with any documentation of gitlab.haskell.org to
send me or point me at whatever they have already.

I don't want to do this alone. Other volunteers are welcome! I also
will abide by the Haskell Foundation and the haskell.org committee in
arranging this documentation according to their needs and preferences.

Howard
