Write a script to check the life of the mediagoblin.org server every 12 hours.

• is wiki.mediagoblin.org up?
• is mediagoblin.org up?
• is docs.mediagoblin.org up?
• is mailman qrunner running?
• etc.

We want to do a web-site overhaul. However, that's going to take a while.

In the meantime, we want to fix the following things asap:

1. add yeararchives links
2. add link to news rss feed
3. add headlines links to frontpage of last 5 news items
4. redo the style so it doesn't crib from diveintohtml5

I think that covers it. If there are other things that need to be done, add to this bug and we'll do it or defer it.

If people should help play/test redminelib, it would be nice, if there would be some rough and simple steps to actually start playing with it:

Could you add some rough notes to the README?

• What dependencies should be installed in the system's python? (apt-get string would be super bonus)
• What's needed to use redminelib "in tree", that is, withoug installing it? Nothing, just have PWD/redminelib somehow in the python path, probably by having . in it? Please give a quick one line note to that fact?
• Have a simple cmdline script for people to get started. Something you give the base url of the redmine instance and a bugnumber and that outputs all the info it can extract from that bug?
• Put something like this in the README: "For starters try the following command: python rml-get-all-bug-info.py 444"

You don't have to write lengthy stuff, just rough notes. They should not distract you too long from doing actual coding. Just enough so that lazy testers (like me!) can just git clone, skim README, install deps and immediately start playing/testing.
