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?

I need help. Over time I have accumulated a list of things that need to
be done. Largely I've focussed on those of most pressing need and let
the others slip. The list has grown to the point that frankly I'm
losing track.
To aid in keeping track I have added a 'Box-Admins' category to the
Squeak project at bugs.squeak.org . As I remember issues I intend to
start adding reports there. I've set myself as the 'owner' of the
category and so by default all reports to it will be assigned to me.
But let's be realistic. I'm never going to get all of this done.
Please help me out. Be willing to take responsibility for an issue or
two and take them off my hands.
Let me know if you need help having an issue assigned to you.
Thank you,
Ken
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 March 2007:
We worked with the Elections team to help ensure that everyone could
register for the possibility of voting and got the list of eligible
voters to them.
The biggest news probably is that with the assistance of Jens Holze the
Mantis bug service was moved to the community server which allows the
box-admins team to administer it fully and directly. For example this
allowed us to fix the long standing issue with viewing the project
documentation.
I want to thank the community for the monetary support needed to fund
the box 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/http://wiki.squeak.org/http://bugs.squeak.org/
and DNS services for squeak.org and squeakfoundation.org domain names.
