Thanks Wayne for all your energies and efforts in running these sites.
It is really appreciated!
On a personal note, I'd like to express a particular appreciation for
the TAB software which sits within, and dovetails to my own open source
lute tabulature software LuteScribe. TAB source is in github, so should
remain accessible for many years to come.
Possibly the email list could be migrated to a Google group (free) -
they are quite easy to set up, but do need an admin to occasionally free
up a blocked message and to admit new users (or it could be auto-join).
As previously mentioned, there is an archive of the current list already
here:
https://www.mail-archive.com/lute@cs.dartmouth.edu/
To my mind the pages about TAB and the downloadable music archive
associated with it is of great importance and should also be preserved.
Best Wishes
- Luke

Hi -
I have been running this lute mail list since 1998, and it has been interesting and
fun. Now I am retiring from my job at Dartmouth College, and when I retire the computers
that I have run will be shut down. This includes the mail servers that run the lute
mail list. So it is time to retire from running the lute mail list too. I will also be
closing my lute web page, my lute tablature page, and "Lutes For Sale" web page.
If someone wants to take up running the lute mail list I suggest that they
announce it on my list in the next month, while my list is still running. My
list runs using software that I wrote, and I don’t recommend that someone else
try to use it. I don’t know the last day yet, but I will make an announcement
when my list actually closes.
