Just a quick note that I have copied all of the content/accounts/etc for SqueakPeople as well as the source code for mod_virgule (which actually I've had a copy of on my workstation for some time) to the community server in /root/SqueakPeople/ so we have the data. My understanding is that the server will be shutting down at the end of today.

Oh, he, ok. Are we smacking it up again or? Btw, since I took over the Elections list I am being swamped with spam - not the list itself but owners etc. Do we have any good idea about how to deal with this? I am even being tempted to just somehow "shut down" ability to send email to the owner. :)
And... yeah, I have over 15000 mails sitting in moderation, I can't even open up the moderation page. I need to purge those through the command line, if anyone knows the magic incantation? Otherwise I will ask google of course.

'or' I suppose. I've received no complaints as of yet and I see no strong reason to put this stale, rarely used site back up. I did make a copy of the 2 voter lists as of the end of the month as well in the usual form so I have that information as it stood at that time.

I can take care of it easily enough. I just need to coordinate with you to be sure I don't delete a valid message. It's no rush at this point as long as you are watching the moderation requests that come in looking for valid messages (granted not very likely). Just catch me at some point on IRC when you are confident there is nothing sitting in the queue that should be accepted.

Well, there is one strong reason and that is the fact that it contains LOTS of articles! And some of them actually have useful content :).
We could make those available some other way of course.

I admit having dropped moderation on the elections list. It just isn't doable.

Oh, the way to discard list moderation queue entries from the command line is to switch to the 'list' user and use the 'discard' command which takes the moderation filenames as arguments. The moderation queue files can be found in ~list/data/ in the form
heldmsg-elections-<number>.pck
the trick often comes in the fact that with many such files, and such long names, you can't delete them in one go because the command line is too long. So then I resort to using file globbing with number ranges, etc. I'm sure you can figure that out.
