thanks, Brian, for attending to this. We'll hold off. Let us know if we need to make changes once you've got things in order on your end.

best regards,
Karl

Hi John,

Thanks for your comments. I completely agree. The archive should be public, and if its URL does change then we should deal with the redirect here. I've spoken with admins here and made these requirements known. Apparently this last mailman upgrade caused plenty of headaches, so we don't have things back to normal yet. Anyway, folks at PCMDI should hold off on making any URL changes; hopefully it won't be necessary.

    This seems to point to a bigger problem. These mail messages are
    supposed to be publicly readable, are they not?  It appears the
    installation has changed this into a private (not viewable)
    repository, based on this thread and the new URL. That's
    definitely not what we want.

    If it IS what we want, could the people who manage the CGD site
    put in an apache redirect, so that all the links that appear all
    over the internet to specific mail addresses could continue to
    resolve correctly, instead of breaking? I think this is a typical
    practice when a resource's location changes.  (Ref: Cool URIs
    don't change <http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI.html>.)

    But redirecting to the right place won't help the universe if they
    get prompted for a password they won't have.

    Thanks Brian
    cfconventions.org <http://cfconventions.org/> just points to
    LLNL, so that's a PCMDI problem then :-)
    Cheers

        All,

        Our sys admins have informed me that a mailman software
        upgrade has changed the URL.  The archive is now at
        http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/private/cf-metadata/. The
        cfconventions.org
        <http://cfconventions.org/><http://cfconventions.org
        <http://cfconventions.org/>> site will need to update this link.

        I found that accessing the archive required me to enter a
        password which I haven't used probably since I registered for
        the list.  But mailman will send it to you, and it appears
        that this only needs to be done once.

        Brian

        Hello,

        Another website issue, I'm afraid: When I click on "CF Metadata
        Mailing List Archives" from "http://cfconventions.org/"; I get
        a not
        found messge:


        http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/pipermail/cf-metadata/
          Not Found
          The requested URL /pipermail/cf-metadata/ was not found on
        this server.

        I presume that the mail archive still exists ...

        Many thanks and all the best,

        David
