You are correct, Pavel. GMANE is under new ownership and being reconstructed. Our lists are not live yet (although a direct link to a message that I found in a GMANE search seemed to work), but hopefully our lists will be back in full before too long. Paul

Any objection? Depends what part of web you talk about, that's why I asked. I am all for giving Paul the wiki access. Pavel

The server seems to be a for use by students of U. Bonn (based on my extremely limited German vocabulary), and since I don't fit that demographic, I'm not sure if I ought to be mucking around on their systems (or how long I'd get away with it before an diplomatic incident occurred). Actually, the server is a virtual machine (running CentOS 6.7) hosted in their server. This means that we are at home there. Unfortunately our sysadmin (Lars) and our webmaster (Christian) are busy with other things. JMarc

Do we have a webmaster?
Not sure if this belongs in the developer list or the doc team list, but I'll try here first. Is there a webmaster for lyx.org? I couldn't find any contact link to him/her(/it?). The site needs a bit of updating. Thanks, Paul
