How to Review Community IT Requests

Does bug have all info IT needs?

See https://wiki.mozilla.org/MCS:Hosting

• Where the users will mainly come from (Europe, America, etc)
• What will run on it (wiki, bugzilla, podcast system, blogs, etc...)
• An estimation of the number of visitors (or bandwidth used)
• Do you have a sysadmin to manage the server?
  • if so, which distribution do you want? (for VPS and dedicated servers only)

Does it meet council requirements to be auto approved?

• Requested by a trusted person
  • Rep or Employee
• Established project
  • At least one person has already been running this program on their own for a while
  • or...
  • It's a new project for an established community, ie a group of proven individuals have committed to the success of the project

Does it need council review?

• If the project only meets one of the above criteria it goes to council for a vote
