XParam - Miki moved to Australia a year ago, is this still an Israeli

There is a question of how such a list should treat dead projects. Roni
has been as active on XParam as Miki (and still lives in Israel, as far
as I know). Neither have done much development on it for some time now.
Question: what happend to the iglu.org.il site
I thought it was too out of focus and out of date, so I did not bring it
back up after the server move. I still have it in backup if anyone is
interested in salvaging the good stuff from there. The only offer of
help I had in that respect was from someone who saw it as an
unconditional prerequisite that they:
1. Bring the ENTIRE site back, out of date stuff and all, to exactly the
same way it looked before
AND
2. They get root access.
Since neither conditions were acceptable to me, said person was given
sufficient permissions to access the backups, change the site on
hamakor.org.il both in the file level and at the Joomla level. Aside
from bitching on the mailing lists that they do not have sufficient
permissions, no actual constructive work was done, so the site is down
pending someone who cares enough to bring it back up. If anyone else is
interested in salvaging the information from there, please contact me
off list.
and why is this list not
on a Wiki over there? or on
http://www.hamakor.org.il/content/view/52/56/
That is up to Shlomi to answer. He has permissions to edit the page you
mention.
Last but not least, if we are talking websites, is Hamakor or anyone
doing anything about the shameful abuse taking place over at gnu.org.il?
it's the same guy who was abusing wordpress.org.il until a week ago.
I had a look, and am frankly a bit at a loss as to what to say. I work
according to the principle of judge the site, not the person behind
it. The site does have SOME useful stuff in it (I don't know where it
came from, or whether it was taken with permission). I also did not see
any blatant misleading statements of authorization or of being official.
As such, I'm not sure there is anything we CAN do.
If you find anything on the site that makes the reader believe that it
is an official site, or if you wrote one of the translated articles
there and you believe your copyright was violated, then Hamakor can help
you. Otherwise, it's better to not draw additional traffic there and let
it be.
Just my humble opinion, of course. You are all free to try and change my
mind (or convince other people otherwise).
