Are you still in The Hague as listed on mirrors.html? Maybe they have reasonable beer as well, I'll be there in a couple of weeks. BTW why is there a link to discover instead of Chris' homepage? I think the pages need some attention, last updated 1999/2000, potato is just released. Some of the links are outdated: Geocities closed in 2009. > As one of the big users of the email service, I can offer to have > linux-m68k.org hosted at Gandi (I have my company domain there, too). > That would include DNS and email forwarding. We can start a little collection at our next meeting perhaps, or is there a way to donate money to linux-m68k?

A long time ago cvs.linux-m68k was hosted on kullervo (it's still pointing there, but kullervo is not online). I tried to convert this to git, it is now on people.d.o: https://people.debian.org/~cts/m68kboot.git/ If the website is not too big (and if it is allowed by debian), we could put a copy of it on a debian server. But something that could be editable by a few more people (mabye not a CMS) would be nice to keep it a bit more up to date? Christian
