Hi,
If you want i can host archive at free.fr.

Maybe later with time we can make archive mirror.

Just an idea :-P

Subject: [Tracks-discuss] Need to find a new home for this mailing list :-(

As some of you may have seen on Twitter or elsewhere, Joyent has rather 
controversially ended its commitment to hosting those of its customers 
who bought Lifetime accounts:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/ex-joyeurs

I was one of those Lifetimers :-(

That means that I've got to find a new host for my own blog and a few 
other things, but more urgently, I need to find a new home for this 
mailing list. This is currently hosted on Joyent and I suspect that it 
might be somewhat of a pain to move. Luckily we had already moved the 
getontracks.org site off Joyent on to Github, so we don't have to sort 
that out.

Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions for what we should do? The 
problem is that they are just deleting everything at the end of October, 
which give me very little time to act (I have a holiday coming up in 
just over a week, and then the very busy start of term).

The way I see it, we have a few alternatives (not necessarily mutually 
exclusive):

* Just find somewhere to archive the old mailing list (static HTML if I 
can get it?) and move to a new system
* I could see if I could set up a new mailing list at my new host 
(wherever that might be) and try to port it over
* Start afresh and ditch the archives
* something else?

I'm not even sure what's out there in terms of Mailman alternatives? 
I've seen a few specialist mailing list providers, but they are 
typically set up for large commercial ventures and so are overkill/too 
expensive for what we need.

HALP! :-( Any suggestions welcome.

cheers,

bsag
