Lists

Website issues: On the <http://www.openspf.org/Forums> page
I'd like to disable SRS-discuss, SRS-devel, SPF-deployment,
SPF-private, and SPF-council *IFF* these mailing lists are
dead. Julian has already retired SPF-webmasters; FWIW the
GMaNe archive is still available.

Some spammer had fun with the Community stories page. This
somehow resulted in a mess with the revisions (after 102
the counter started to overwrite revisions 1..10). At the
moment this page should be locked.

I think this is fine. As far as I know all those lists are dead.

Okay, I've updated the Forums page. IMO spf-announce could
be deleted, the list is dead (= listbox.com doesn't know it),
and the Gmane archive ending in 2006 is now irrelevant.

Frank, thanks for doing this. Unfortunately the website backup we
restored on the new server is not completely current and is thus missing
any changes that were made recently. I will keep trying to get access to
the latest website data from the old server.

While we're on the topic of mailing lists, I think the upcoming 4408bis
effort may warrant a complete move of the remaining mailing lists away
from Listbox to a different service. Possibly Google Groups, or I could
host them on the new server that's now running the website. The old list
archives at Listbox and elsewhere are a mess. Comments welcome.

There will be an IETF working group for 4408bis. It will have an IETF mailing list, so we don't need to worry about a list for that.

Can you share the source of this info?

We *are* on an IETF mailing list, complete with a
"note well" link on the rescued SPF Forums page,
since 2008-03. As moderator you are supposed to
know that the IETF Chair has posting rights... ;-)

Will is probably too strong a term. Essentially all the feedback I've gotten on my 4408bis draft has amounted to "needs to move out of experimental, but needs a WG." I'm not going to the next IETF meeting (Taipei), but I'm sure there will be some informal discussion there.

Just for fun, and before UTF8SMTPBIS replaces the
older UTF8SMTP, I've revived my SPF-EAI I-D. This
should be the first I-D with a _normative_ 4408bis
reference.

The IETF likes to have working group lists managed by ietf.org's MLM, so we can expect an ***@ietf.org mailing list. In fact, I've already sent off the request for it.

My IETF TAO crystal ball says that it's not really
necessary to ask who one of the two WG Chairs will
be... ;-)

That simplifies finding a reliable public archive,
and it's also a hint for the future WG name. In an
ideal world I'd be interested to gateway spfbis@ in
spf-discuss@ and vice versa, but at the moment this
list here is also used for OpenSPF Web site issues,
so in the real world it's no good idea.

I will keep trying to get access to the latest
website data from the old server.

Hopefully that works, there were lots of changes
after the last wayback archive snap shot 2011-07.

I think the upcoming 4408bis effort may warrant a
complete move of the remaining mailing lists away
from Listbox to a different service.  Possibly
Google Groups, or I could host them on the new
server that's now running the website.

Normally I'd say that *anything* should be better.
The IETF non-WG list update apparently didn't make
it, but that's anyway no obstacle.

But Google Groups might be even worse than what we
have now, they are permanently introducing new and
wonderful features incompatible with what used to
work for years (and not more working at all if you
have no G+ account). Better stay away from Google.

As long as the remaining three SPF lists (discuss +
help + devel) work better don't touch it.

If my short term memory is correct, the Internet2 Shibboleth group just
moved their lists away from Google Groups a few weeks ago because of
issues.

I vote for running mailman on the openspf.net domain. It can run on
Julian's Debian server, or on the CentOS 5 VM I allocated for openspf. I
have pymilter stuff packaged for CentOS.
