Add janitors practices page

New page

There are a number of practices that the [[Janitors]] perform to facilitated access and care for [[Frontyard]].

Currently these are handed down in a number of ways (through [[Slack]], via a Google Doc Janitors Handbook, together as we work and in Janitors Meetings).

We would like to better document these activities for transparency and to enable broader participation, and so can also use this space to document our practices.

== Creating New Wiki Users ==

This wiki is a space for use by anyone who has signed the MoU, [[:Category:Residencies|residents]] for example.

When people sign the MoU, you can offer to create them an account on the wiki. Follow these steps.

Your wiki account needs to have ''administrator'' [[Special:UserRights|User Rights]] to create a new wiki account. Ask [[Special:ListUsers|an administrator]] to give you these rights if needed.

# Ask the person what username and password they would like, or or [https://bitwarden.com/password-generator/ generate them a strong passphrase]. ''Note: Because of our current MediaWiki configuration, it is not possible for people to reset their password for Frontyard's wiki if they forget it, and will have to create a new account instead.''
# Fill in the username and password on the [[Special:CreateAccount]] page and click 'Create Account'.
# Send the username and password to the person, careful not to share the password in a public channel.
# Send the person the [[Special:UserLogin|Login Page]].
# If they are a resident, send them to the [[:Category:Residencies|Residencies page]] and ask them to add their name and dates to the table, and use the page for whatever documentation or articulation they would like. Remind them that the wiki is an open, evolving digital garden that they can contribute across.

 When you become a "signatory" to the Frontyard account, you have official access from the bank. Not all janitors need to become signatories, but sometimes there are some that do. To become a signatory, you need to do the following:
-# Go to a physical bank branch with an existing signatory of the account (the Westpac branch where we opened our account has moved to the inside of Marrickville Metro)
+# Make an appointment with the Westpac branch at Marrickville Metro (The appointment will take about 30-60 minutes; hopefully, an appointment will save time). Double-check that all the instructions below are the same as listed (Background: The Westpac branch where we opened our account has moved to the inside of Marrickville Metro. It is shared with St George's bank. Make sure to liaise with a Westpac representative instead of a St George representative. Also, banks change/merge/morph all the time, which is why these instructions might change for the bank).
 # New and existing signatories need to bring a driver's License and Medicare Card (for citizens) or Passport (for non-citizens)
 # You also need to bring a printed-out copy of the most recent meeting minutes with a resolution saying that "[New Signatory Person's Name] is to become a Signatory on the Frontyard Bank Account."
 # Then, talk to the Westpac representative.
