Re: perl 6 mailing lists status
On Sun, 27 May 2001, Bryan C. Warnock wrote: perl6-all - Current mega-subscription list. (What mailing lists does this cover, and how is that determined as lists come and go?) In use. perl6-all is subscribed to all other perl6-.*@perl.org lists. perl6-language-unlink - Originally chaired by Nathan Wiger. unlink(). Closed. No archive, although there is a link to one. it's already closed. I don't think it ever got used. At least, I can't find any postings. perl6-meta - The catchall list chaired by Nat Torkington. In use. it's not catch all, it's for mails like these. :-) perl6-porters - A mailing list from Topaz days. Freeze (if we want to parallel p5p for maintenance and porting post Perl 6 delivery.). Last post was 15 Feb 2001. hmpfr, it's not supposed to be alive. http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00200.html Michael Schwern's perl-qa is also on the list, and seems to be included in perl6-all, although his stated goal (and the current traffic) isn't Perl 6 specific - hence the name. Correct. The current page should probably break the lists up into two (or three, if Frozen is acceptable) sections, for the current and closed lists. Ask, I can send you a revamped page after the details have been worked out (barring Warnock's Dilemma). That'd be great.

[meta] perl.org mail, ftp.cpan.org, www.perl.org and so on...
In the next hour or so we will be moving the box hosting ftp.cpan.org, cpan.valueclick.com, (perl|cpan).org mail, www.cpan.org, www.perl.org and so on to the rack next to the one it's in now. The downtime should be less than 10 minutes, but now you are forewarned in case I hit the 110V/230V switch while we move it or something. :-) - ask -- ask bjoern hansen, http://ask.netcetera.dk/ !try; do();
perl.org cpan.org mail
Ack. For quite a while I've had the project of getting everything on tmtowtdi.perl.org moved to a new box called onion. The CPAN foo I'm hosting was moved a while ago and www.perl.org has been running on onion ever since I started hosting it at ValueClick, so those sites were not affected. Earlier today tmtowtdi had to be moved to a new rack, and when they turned it on again it didn't quite feel like booting. So, it got moved from the datacenter to it's current place behind my desk and I got it started. Instead of just getting it running, changing DNS, going home and hoping for the best, I took the opportunity to get stuff moved to onion. It seems like we have all data in good shape, and if not there's the nightly backups. perl.org and cpan.org mail is running again and all queued mail from the secondary MX has been processed. I will open up the websites that were on tmtowtdi in a few minutes. bugs.perl.org is not running as it will require some coordination with Richard or more work than I can bother to do right now. So, please don't blame Richard for perlbug being down. It's all my fault. Also, the people who had accounts to update the sites and whatnot on tmtowtdi doesn't have access to onion (yet). If they'll please mail me, then I'll get them set up again. There's probably some other stuff missing that I forgot about right now. Please mail me and let me know. The good part is that the new box is much faster, not running some ancient Linux and have RAID-5. So you can now receive both perl6-all and p5p faster than you can start a tail on your mail log after posting. - ask ps. if any of the above doesn't make much sense it's because I've eaten approximately 2 tons of mini snickers and not much else today. Argh. -- ask bjoern hansen, http://ask.netcetera.dk/ !try; do();

With only 100-user license, we are pretty tight as to who can do that. There are probably more than 100 people on the various perl6 mailing lists who'd want to at least experiment with the system on their own. there's a built-in 2-client license you can play with if you just download the daemon from perforce. Also the number 100 was just a semi-random number I picked when I faxed the license request. I could as well have written 1000 I'm sure. - ask -- ask bjoern hansen - http://www.netcetera.dk/~ask/ more than 70M impressions per day, http://valueclick.com

Re: Perl 6 announcement list

Perhaps we rename perl6-announce to perl6-announce-rfc, then create a new perl6-announce (with all the subscribers of the rfc list) to hold mailing list and project status reports? yes, I have been thinking the same thing.
