Hello all,
 
I am looking to create a list of "Best Practices for the 3000".  Many
of you actually have some :)   I would like to put this list together
and provide it to anyone who asks.  It would be freely distributed,
with no copywrite.
 
If you have a "best practice", please send me a private email (I expect
there would be many) and let me know if I can include your name and/or
company name on the list.  I will try to join like-practices.
 
You don't have to be a large site, nor do you need 10,000 years of
experience in IT.  Also, there may be some general IT "best practices"
that you may want to send.
 
Some ideas of subject areas are:
   OS Installation/Updates/Patches
   Backup/Recovery/Disasters
   Application development/design/coding
      (including source code change management)
   Spool file management
   Hardware/Software support management
   Operations management
   Systems management
   General Database management
   IMAGE management
 
And that's just for starters :)
 
I figure that no one wants to write all of their "best practices", but
I'm hoping that with several hundred viewers we should be able to put
together a large list as a group.  Just consider me as the
administrator or editor of the list.
 
I believe that just about everyone on this list would like to see the
results, because just about every customer I support now (or have in
past) is interested in this list.
 
I can't do it alone and I need your help.
 
TIA,
