Message-ID: <20100317202134.GF25330@digitalkingdom.org> Mail-Followup-To: lojban-list@lojban.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.20 (2009-06-14) I've been working *very* hard for the last several weeks on compiling an as-complete-as-possible collection of all the main Lojban list mails, ever. It's not complete, but at 45 thousand mails, it's pretty impressive. :) http://groups.google.com/group/lojban/topics?gvc=2 is the google group resulting from what I've done, and represents a staggering amount of work. I expect praise. The driving issue here is that for many years I was getting regular requests to make a web forum, but I didn't want to split the community, so I found software (Tiki) that could keep an email list and a web forum synchronized. The problem is, it keeps breaking, and I'm tired of fixing it. On top of that, managing non-trivial email these days is itself a full time job (because of disparate spam protection at different ISPs), and I'm tired of doing it. So, I'm outsourcing the mailing list to Google, which solves both this problems very well, so I don't have to keep spending my time working on obnoxious busy-work, when I could actually be doing stuff to further Lojban. Some time in the next few days, when I get a few hours to rub together, the current list will be totally shut down, the last bits of mail will be uploaded, and the current list of subscribers will be transferred. The current email address for the list will still work, it will just forward to google groups instead. -Robin -- They say: "The first AIs will be built by the military as weapons." And I'm thinking: "Does it even occur to you to try for something other than the default outcome?" See http://shrunklink.com/cdiz http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/
