As I have warned earlier, we are busy reevaluating all the Varnish
Cache projects infrastructure.
Starting tomorrow, wednesday march 9th 2016, noon-ish, our main
source code repository will live on github:
https://github.com/varnishcache/varnish-cache
In the future bugreports and patches will happen through githubs
facilities for issues and pull-requests. (We have taken a snapshot
of the old tickets, so history is preserved.)
The new homepage is in the works -- any day or possibly week now.
Next up was migrating email and mailing-lists to the new server.
As somebody who wrote a sendmail.cf from scratch back in 198x when
Denmark got connected to the Internet, I was really not looking
forward to having to deal with spam-filtering and all that crap.
But like Mr. Prosser, I would argue: "It's email, you got to have email!"
Ruben prompted me to take a closer, more critical look, and that
was a good idea.
As far as I can see, Stackoverflow.com has significantly more Varnish
traffic than our own varnish-misc list.
Judging from the archives, a lot of the current varnish-dev traffic
move to github as part of the pull requests handling.
So Ruben has a point: It might be time to lie down in front of
the bulldozer.
Here is a strawman proposal to down-size our email:
-misc
autoreply
"Please use stackoverflow.com instead"
-core
alias
Incoming contact point for project management.
-security
alias
Incoming contact point for security issues.
-comitters
mailman, closed subscription
Info-channel for sysadm like messages
-announce.
mailman, open subscription, moderated.
For official project information only.
-commit
mailman, open subscription, no posting
Robot sends one email per commit
(Do we one such list for each repo ?)
-dev
mailman, open subscription
Technical discussions, warnings, anouncements.
I have no idea how much traffic -dev will see in the future, but I
I want to keep it as a "technical list" which is open for two-way
communication.
-dev will be the only "sign up and spam" list we have, and given
the usual low level of traffic, I propose we deal with that moderating
the list and white-list people as we go.
Comments, observations, ideas ?
