Yes, with some RO stuff, particularly that on user's own individual
sites where they drift away, change ISPs, etc.

I don't see the point?  arcem.sf.net is the well-known place for it that
has been referenced on the web, mailing lists, and Usenet over many
years.  Sourceforge is unlikely to disappear without notice anytime
soon;  it's not like a user's individual site mentioned above.  The
mailing lists work fine and have a decent archive interface on
mail-archive.com.  (sf.net's is awful.)  Why break all those ties?  I
don't see any benefits.

riscos.info's wiki already links to arcem.sf.net, perhaps a page for it
is all that's needed if you're concerned about it being forgotten?

Cheers,


Ralph.
