As usual, direct complaints to /dev/null if anything breaks ;-) That aside, regarding my upcoming plans: I'm fine with hosting followin= g websites: - www (as far as the main static website is concerned - NO HOMEDIRs - s= ince I already host a mirror, it's really easy) - wiki (already hosted by me, no change) - ftp (web access only, provided the debian-ports part of the archive d= oesn't grow much beyond 20G, and for as short a period of time as can b= e achieved.) hwdb will have to go, I just cba moving it and dealing with potential P= HP exploits ;P cvs will have to go too, if someone wants to archive it for posterity (= it's about 8.4G), now would be a good time. Regarding email, my plan is to setup a "forward-only" MTA. As far as I = can tell, most active users of p-l.o already have a .forward setup, wit= h the notable exception of willy (explicitly CC'd here). Of course, if = someone wants to step up and handle p-l.o email on their own, they're w= elcome to raise a hand ;) NB: the people having bits of importance left in their homedir on p-l.o= should probably think about backing them up ASAP, these won't be moved= over. Since the domain expires on August 2014, I believe this gives us suffic= ient time to evaluate "what to do next". As far as *I* am concerned, I = plan to have transitioned all references to my p-l.o email address (mos= tly in source code) by then, meaning that *I* will probably not see a n= eed to keep the domain going beyond that point. I would like to explici= tly point out here that I commit myself to providing hosting facilities= as explained above UNTIL THEN, after which I reserve the right to "mov= e on". HINT HINT HINT: if someone wants to keep p-l.o going after that point, = they'll have to keep that deadline in mind. I am offering a transition as the A500 is being decommissioned, but I a= m NOT offering a permanent solution. =46inally, do we have an exact date as to when the A500 will be powered= down?
