Contacting the Board (and maybe Box-Admins)
by Ken Causey 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Related to my thread started earlier I'm no a cleanup campaign and one of the things I'm trying to cleanup are over a hundred thousand unmoderated messages sitting around that no one wants to moderate (and I fully understand since I do this job on two lists twice a week myself). For most lists it's a relatively simple issue, reject messages from non-subscribers in the future and I delete the old messages. However there are exceptions. One of those is the Board mailing list. The Board needs to be contactable as a group. However no one on the Board has the time to look through the gobs and gobs of spam for the rare valuable message. Craig and I spoke about this on IRC and he brought up the idea of a web form with a captcha. Obviously the ideal location for such a thing would be on www.squeak.org. Does anyone have the time to implement such a thing? I think I might be able to provide a shortcut on the captcha, so don't sweat that one too much. If you would like more information let me know or come and chat on #squeak. Thanks! Ken

File cleanups, yes... again
by Ken Causey 21 Dec '07

We are climbing up above 90% disk usage on box2 so time for another audit. Previously I managed to talk you into a more conservative backup schedule. Now I would like to ask you to cleanup what is being backed up. A little nosing around indicates that you are backing up a lot of files that I suspect were just used in setting up the sites/testing and or just junk at this point: # tar ztf backups/foundation/2007-12-17-0005.tgz SqF-Pier-1.5-maybe-bad.image SqF-Pier-1.5-safe.image SqF-Pier-1.5-safe.old.image SqF-Pier-1.5.image SqF-Pier-1.5.old.image SqueakFoundation.image SqF-Pier-1.5-maybe-bad.changes SqF-Pier-1.5-safe.changes SqF-Pier-1.5-safe.old.changes SqF-Pier-1.5.changes SqF-Pier-1.5.old.changes SqueakFoundation.changes # tar ztf backups/2007-12-17-0005.tgz smallwikiSnapshot.1.image smallwikiSnapshot.backup.image smallwikiSnapshot.image smallwikiSnapshot.1.changes smallwikiSnapshot.backup.changes smallwikiSnapshot.changes s# tar ztf backups/testing/2007-12-17-0005.tgz smallwikiSnapshot.backup.image smallwikiSnapshot.image wwwtest.squeak.org.backup.image wwwtest.squeak.org.image smallwikiSnapshot.backup.changes smallwikiSnapshot.changes wwwtest.squeak.org.backup.changes wwwtest.squeak.org.changes Are all of these files needed at all, much less needing to be backed up over and over again? The home directory for the website team totals 4.3GB. Since there is an rsync backup also on the server that is doubled, and then any images that change are backed up in their entirety again. So in effect the website team ends up using perhaps as much as 10GB on the server. Anything you can do to lower this I would greatly appreciate. Ken

Please actualize info and links. Edgar P.S No computer was harmed in the made of this image :=)

Wiki code
by Keith Hodges 16 Dec '07

16 Dec '07

Hello, on the wiki.squeak.org it says that you should use <code>...</code> to mark up code snippets. I use this quite a bit because Installer is able to automatically extract scripts marked <code st>....</code st> However the display of <code> is somewhat disappointing on the wiki, <pre> is much better. Is there anything that can be done about this css-style wise? many thanks in advance Keith

Suggestion for Squeak Website
by Mike Reid 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

The current CD-ROM image is a dmg file rather than an iso. My Windows and Linux boxes don't seem to want to do anything with it but choke, and the several web suggestions (i.e., using dmg2iso) have failed spectacularly. Any chance of a nice vanilla iso for 3.9? Thanks for listening. Mike Reid mreid(a)lccs.edu
