Re: Receive your own posts to the list?
by Ken Causey 30 Aug '10

Hi, I am the right person although technically you should be contacting the team at box-admins(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org. Rob sent a test message with subject 'TEST' and I see that email having been delivered to Gmail for him at 12:52:36 UTC today. Is Rob using the web interface for Gmail? If so and he has been using it for any time I think he has to be aware of this but: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=7a71e4350a059afb&hl=… this is just one example of many links you can find about this Gmail issue.

That said, I know little about HelpSystem and how changes to the HelpSystem text are done and perhaps my idea makes no sense at all. In any case, ultimately what will matter is what those who submit reports think is the correct category in each case. The category can be changed of course, but it gets to be a bit annoying to buck the trend. Ken

please add "Documentation" category in Mantis
by Michael Haupt 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Dear box admins, to facilitate a structured handling of documentation issues, we (that is, at least Casey Ransberger, Hannes Hirzel, and myself) would like to be able to have people report such issues via Mantis. To that end, having a "Documentation" category would make sense. Could you please add this? Thanks, Michael

Done! I appreciate your help in pruning back unused lists.

I am the correct person. I will close the list but save the archives. Ken On Fri, 2010-08-20 at 09:33 +0200, Marcus Denker wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to close a mailinglist > > Closures...

Scheduled Server Maintenance/Reboot for 8/23/2010
by Ken Causey 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

The community server has been running steadily now for nearly 300 days. In the past couple of years we have had some difficulty when we have neared 1 year of uptime. Call it superstitious if you like but I've decided that I will restart the system on August 23, 2010 at 16:00 UTC and hopefully prevent a recurrence of the events of past years. I don't expect any difficulties and there should be no more than a few minutes of downtime after which all services should continue as normal. Ken Causey
