This is not an official resource of the project, so the project is trying
to help simply as a benefit to existing users. Edward, who owns the domain
name, was cooperative and we had a brief exchange of e-mails a few months
ago.
The outcome, with no need of dedicated discussions, is that the best
solution is:
1) Edward keeps the oooforum.org domain name, since it has historically
been his
2) We agree that Ed will point oooforum.org to something like
forum-archive.openoffice.org (the name is made up, but I mean something
under Apache control)
3) Ed provides Apache with a full database dump and a full files tree for
the phpbb installation now powering oooforum.org
4) oooforum.org remains as a public archive, but gradually we encourage
people to post to forum.openoffice.org (a neutral resource, but on Apache
infrastructure and under control of the project)
If Ed agrees with this, we can surely implement it reasonably quickly. But
we will need action from his side for item #3.
Agreed and maybe he is under a lot of work. My question here is if he ever
got back, were there further outreach? And is it possible to share the
admin credentials with an AOO contributor like Andrew P. I heard he already
did an rsync of the site but was too large to hold on his client. Maybe AOO
could share a space to rsync there as a read-only. And then perform some
cleanup to tag spam posts and delete the pages. 100G should do it IMO.
Problem is that it was not able to package up what was needed so that it
could be downloaded. I have plenty of storage to have been able to
download it.
I did a scrape of the pages, and it is about 8GB last time I did it. Off
hand, I expect that a huge chunk of that is SPAM, especially since most
of the SPAMS have large graphics included. I considered writing a PERL
script to clean that based on certain search criteria, but, it just
feels like a huge annoyance to spend hours removing posts and then
trolling the rest of the files to rearrange all of the links so that
things continue to function. So, I did not start the clean-up process
from my scrape.
