I don't think there's anything written, although Sébastiens has sent
enough similar-looking emails that I suspect he might have a template
for those written somewhere... ;-) Sébastien, if you send me the text,
I'm willing to adapt it for the public website.

I can already tell you that Sébastien will need your public ssh key,
as well as a preferred username, so that you can push files on the
test system. When you're happy with the looks of the test system,
the files will be stored in a repository (usually SVN, but we can deal
with Git nowadays) where you will be able to push updates to your files.

Once active, a lot of the management happens via the web site.

The main chunk of documenation aimed at the organizers is:
http://act.mongueurs.net/doc/Manual/Organizer.html

Of those I suggest you read the first two. The other will be more
useful once you have a live site.
