Having been out of work for a while ( 10+ months ) I seem to have a lot of time on my hands and would like to get involved. If there is anything that I can do to help out in terms of providing labor for the mailing list, please let me know. I run a couple of low-volume amateur radio related Mailman lists and I'm familiar with the software.Quoting John Abreau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:True, this does all take time. When I rebuilt the BLU server, I had explicitly set aside enough cash for a few months' sabbatical to work on the project full-time, and I built and tested everything on a spare box at home before we acquired the hardware for the new server."few months'"! Sigh - All that money/time I saved was sucked up by:1. 9 months of unemployment last year. 2. A house/barn/farm in need of 30 years of repairs. 3. An unexpected surgery. At least I had some time to prepare for the conversion to mailman. I wasn't prepared for problems after the conversion. (Another sigh.)As for consolidating the gnhlug list archives, anyone willing to volunteer the time could do this on their home machine, after which a complete mbox archive could be kept on hand, ready to import when the server issues stabilize in the future. You could split the effort among several volunteers, perhaps one volunteer per year of messages, for example.What an excellent idea! Are there any volunteers? (If so, please reply to the gnhlug-org list!)
Although I can't donate any monetary help as my unemployment is about to run out and I'll probably have to find a 'real' job at a burger joint to make ends meet, I'm willing to do any grunt work that may need to be done.
