Yes, I was intending to send out an update to the list. My apologies.
We've been encountering a very unpleasant bug in the list server software,
which has been causing it to hang every day or two. It is relatively
simple to bring it back up again, but right now that's a manual operation
done by yours truly and involves me going to the other building where the
server room is. And thus it only happens when I'm at work and not in
meetings, like the one I have Monday morning at 9am :-(
Yes, there's an IS department here around the clock, but they don't provide
support for this software. They just make sure there's power and ethernet,
and that nobody but me can get to the machine, and that I have to
physically go there. (Which is another issue, but still.)
So we're working on it, and trying to find the root cause and get it fixed.
It has nothing to do with Ryan moving to another group within Palm, unless
the software is pining away for him.
(Any system admins want to join us? Great job openings available... ditto
for devsupp engineers, as long as I'm advertising :-) And did I mention
that if you refer someone who joins us, we'll send you a Palm device of
your choice?)
