That's a very good idea but not something I can implement since it must be done on minnow once the Swiki is shut down. Jochen, Mark: What Giovanni is getting at here is whether it is possible for minnow to report a 301 (Permanently Moved) reply pointing to http://wiki.squeak.org/ at least for http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/ once the content has been moved? By the way, is the intention to move just the /squeak/ section of the Swiki or the entire content?

Ok, the sites are now running under http://wiki.squeak.org/, which is what I recall we agreed upon earlier this year. I think you can setup the forwards now. box-admins - can you check and see whether everything is up to snuff? It's well past midnight over here so I might not be entirely fresh anymore (single malt scotch on friday night, y'know...) On 12/23/06, Jochen F.

Dead mailing list subscriber processing policy
by Ken Causey 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

For some time now the standard backlog of qmail requests on the server has been increasing (it seems to average 2500-3000 or so currently) and I suspect that at least some portion of this is related to mailing list subscribers whose addresses no longer work. For some time now most mailing list notices have been going to this mailing list (I've never yet figured out why) and I've simply been deleting them from the moderation queue rather than have everyone flooded by them. But really the ones that are due to dead subscribers should be handled at some point. I'm really not sure who or how this has been processed in the past and I'm wondering if anyone knows or has an opinion on a policy for this. For example do I drop someone on the first bounce that seems to indicate something that won't be quickly fixed? Do I wait for response X or period of time Y? What about weeks and weeks of transient problems like full mailbox? I think you get the idea. Of course I also cannot handle these myself (for the most part) since I handed off overall mailing list admin duties to Marcus. So somehow he and I will need to work out an interface for this. Ken

Box-Admins Team Report for November, 2006
by Ken Causey 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

The box-admins team is reponsible for seeing that the community shared server is maintained and setting up any new features to be hosted on that server. For November 2006: Work on a Pier image for www.squeakfoundation.org continued with Brad Fuller. I worked with Klaus Witzel in an attempt to track Google Ad hits on the websites. Late in the month there was a problem on the server because the remote backup server was shut down but a daily process that attempts to backup to the server was not removed. These stacked up over weeks and ran up the usage considerably to the point that the server was highly unresponsive. Once I figured out the problem I cleaned it up and disabled the daily backup attempts. Other than a lack of overall backup, which will in time be addressed, things are back to normal now. I want to thank the community for the monetary support needed to fund these boxes and remind them that the bills continue to appear and that you can currently contribute to the hosting bills by going to http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/ and clicking on the 'donate' button at the top right. Note that a donation here may be used for other Squeak Foundation services including but not limited to development, development infrastructure, and promotion of Squeak. The services being hosted have continued to grow and include (but are not limited to): http://www.squeak.org/ SqueakMap - http://map.squeak.org/ http://ftp.squeak.org/ http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/ http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/ http://source.squeakfoundation.org/ http://map.squeak.org/ https://svn.squeak.org/ http://update.squeakfoundation.org/ and DNS services for squeak.org and squeakfoundation.org domain names.

Possible to create small-kernel mailing list [was: About loading Nebraska}
by Klaus D. Witzel 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

Hi Marcus & Ken, sometimes Pavel & Edgar and now Ralph & Milan and my produce some collaborative traffic (and often some collaborative effort :) which we'd like to get organized and archived. Is it possible to create the small-kernel mailing list, thank you in advance. Pavel, you've been the motor of this small-kernel thing (not of all the previous :) can I ask you to copy & paste a list title and a narrative, thank you. Cheers Klaus P.S. OT: some of the messages in the box-admin list say that now Marcus is responsible, the - http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/subscribe/box-admins web pages say that box-admin is run by Ken. So I addressed both of you ;-) On Sat, 02 Dec 2006 00:50:37 +0100, Pavel Krivanek wrote: > My impression is that Nebraska should be on of the last packages that we > should play with.
