email / lists/ blog / wiki - the port connectivity and functionality like 
seeing if port 143 is really IMAP

as some of these are database backend access could be opened up to verify the 
structure and maybe stats based on queries - how many email aliases are 
there, 
how many users, how many list subscribers.

there was a plan to do a DR list of non-cacert emails. Perhaps sending it to 
there. For the more critical service breakdowns an irc notification - 
freenode 
and cacert?

If its status information only I'm pretty happy for this to be public. RSS as 
a minor thought of distributing notification.
