I noticed two things tonight: 1) the officially abandoned "shavian" Yahoo group is still getting some use, and 2) that the shavian group has lots of files, while the new, shiny, whiz-bang shawalphabet group has exactly two files.
The idea is to abandon the "shavian" group, whose moderator is MIA, and keep the community going at the new place, something which is generally happening. Eventually, we will presumably get to the point where no one has posted to shavian for months; what will happen at that point is that Yahoo will delete all traces of the old group. Obviously, we need to save many (though probably not all) of the files from the old group. It would be nice if the original creators of the files could track down the files they uploaded to "shavian", and copy them to "shawalphabet". This would, to the greatest extent possible, preserve the proper attributions. Those who do this might even delete their old files from from "shavian". Going on in this vein, I'd recommend setting a 30-day deadline for original file uploaders to re-post their files, after which other members of the community who are willing to take responsibility for any files will finish the process of uploading files that they may deem valuable to the community and to newcomers. -- Cheers, Bob Schmertz ------------------------ Yahoo!
