STUFF STILL TO FIX:

Little stuff:

~~Move mailman on zwinger out of /home so zwinger can mount the current /home~~
~~Remove all use of /home in Apache (such as htdocs for a few rare things)~~
- ~~Check for remaining symlinks into /home from common/docroot~~
  - ~~Small number of files belong in common/docroot. Large number of files probably belong on another server.~~
- ~~Check for remaining use of /home in apache config~~
  - ~~Foundation CGI script for updates.~~
Set up php.ini files to sync with apache config
Remove all use of /home in PHP scripts
- config
- debug logs!

Big stuff:

Reinstall Zwinger, once mail service is moved off it
Reinstall albert; suda and albert should each have a copy of each other's junk
Make sure /home is consistent where mounted
- But try to skip it where possible

More remaining nfs stupidities which we found broken:

(log files in /home/wikipedia/logs)
/home/wikipedia/htdocs used via a redirect from /usr/local/apache/htdocs (but not really used for anything, just broke apache restart)
/home/wikipedia/conf/php*.ini symlinked instead of copied around
math on amane but mounted through /home/wikipedia/ someplace
PATH environment variable sanity
'current working dir' was not reset somewhere..
still some PHP 4 boxes in service, their cache configuration broke when php.ini was reinitialized from the php5 masters.
