Fundraising tech/Pre-campaign checklist

Note: This page is a work in under construction!

Action items

 * Lock down thank you letter months before campaign--this is part of code freeze.
 * Line up a bunch of safe coding tasks (e.g. Dashboard) and make sure we're all set up to work on them
 * in September, check for tech blockers to various teams
 * Can Engage still enter donations? Donor services and Major Gifts contractors can do their thing?
 * Is Silverpop export robust and accurate?
 * Are Major Gifts' reports accurate?
 * Review again in October and November.
 * September: Check number of remaining MaxMind queries, pay for more if appropriate.
 * November: Check disk space on all the servers, clean up a bit
 * November: Round up and eliminate meaningless failmail
 * October: Allocate fr-tech floating holidays for the rest of the year and start thinking about on-call days
 * November: Review technical/security incident response procedure, including communications

Stuff to verify is working, and monitor, for CN and impression analytics

 * GeoIP
 * Webrequest logs in Hive
 * No other CN campaigns that would take precedence/compete w/ FR for pageviews
 * No dicey deploys to wikis
 * Varnish-kafkatee whateverz
 * MessageCache working
 * Impression loader job
