Server documentation

Notes

Automated tracking

I tried doing up an initial version of this, but management was a total PITA.

Instead, I'm working on setting up RackView to manage our racks. It seems to be a well designed solution for this sort of thing (the only thing I don't like is that the ebuild is out of date, and it's a perl webapp).
