Hi all

This is just an update to keep you all informed about whats happening with
our vms.

Having looked at the vms, I have identified a couple of severe issues:
- We cannot update to ubuntu 14.04.1, that requires puppet3 (we currently
use puppet2).
- The diskspace on / of wiki is too restricted (logs should be moved to
somewhere else).
- ATS on wiki is past end of life, and should be removed/replaced
- php2bb should be updated.
- Some forums seems unused, but still use db connections

Remark: these problems are NOT caused by the maintenance pescetti did,
which was OK, but the fact that we as project should have acted long time
ago.

I have had a discussion with infra about how best to address these issues,
and our common opinion, is that the best solution is to roll 1 or 2 new
vms, install the applications again. Furthermore look into having ATS (new
version) running in a separate vm to help take load from both forum and vm.

This is of course a task, that takes some careful planning, and not
something I "just" plan to do a weekend where I have time.

I hope to be able to do this end of this year.
