mostly these only exist as paper copies. With all the resignations in Tech after 
last year (at least 4 significant contributers, including both Chairs), I am 
about the only one with even a reasonably good idea of how things were setup. 
Anything else would involve reverse engineering things from the configs. The 
better approach is to discuss what we want to do with the people interested in 
the design level of things (ideally in person, a whiteboard is really desirable 
for this sort of work), and then setup this year's plan from that.

I believe that I am the only person left who had the router password for this 
least year, and I never logged into one.
