I'm primarily sending this email to see what everyone thinks about setting aliases like webmaster@map1.squeakfoundation.org to point to this list. The idea being that one of our primary functions is to repond to support requests. We then have the choice of trying to communicate to everyone the right way to contact us or to try to conform to everyone's existing proclivities. I vote for conforming. However it should be noted that that is asking for LOTS of spam. Now that doesn't bother me because my system should handle it OK. However I'm not sure everyone feels the same.
I am OK. Celeste toasts 99% of it anyway.
Secondly what does everyone see as the appropriate goals/function of this group?
- Make sure the functionality provided by 'the box' keeps working.
Yup. Btw, I dumped the old vm-dev archive (extracted from SF) in /home/discuss - I am not sure how to deal with such things - perhaps you or Cees have an idea?
- Be receptive to requests for hosting other services.
Yup.
- Be prepared to emulate public radio personell and periodically beg
for money (might have to be in the US to get this one).
That is probably also a good thing. Pester people about the PayPal account. I need to make my own contribution too. :)
