I'm also willing to install an automated system (of some sort) which would allow you to either post updated copies to Kanga.Nu without my intervention, or for Kanga.Nu to pro-actively go out and grab them from you ala a mirror. >> I would think having it as a part of the kanga.nu website with >> the rest of the materials would be good.

I've been toying with the idea of grabbing the Slashdot sources and setting up a MUD-dot type affair... The immediate problem is that mySQL *still* won't compile on my system (RH/Alpha 4.2) and I'm very loathe to upgrade to RH/Alpha 5.x as it means a full-system upgrade on a fully working and in-production system which has been fairly heavily tailored. I'm starting to run into a sizeable raft of problems not being on a glibc-based system however, so the move is tempting. Translation: The ultimate plan is to get a second Alpha box, put RH/Alpha 5.X on it, migrate everything that's currently on greek.kanga.nu (the machine you all know and love as "www/ftp/mail.kanga.nu") to the new box get it happy, and then swap boxes. The restriction currently is $$$ for the new Alpha box (~$400 for a 233MHz 21066 which would be the minimal approach). Unfortunately I'm involved in some legal battles that are chewing all my free cash right now (let's just say that the lawyer makes considerably more than I do). > Then you can shunt the bios into a text editor and ask it to find > [Bubba] where Bubba is the name as it would appear in the sender > field of his mailing.

The only effective change for most people is that the name "Petidomo" will disappear and "Kettledrum" (current working project name), and "ListMgr" (main system name) will take its place. All other email addresses will stay the same. 2) The MUD-Dev presence on Kanga.Nu will be rationalised as part of the currently ongoing re-working of the entire Kanga.Nu site. This will most likely mean that /~petidomo/lists/mud-dev/ will move to /lists/mud-dev/. Odds are good that I'll put redirect files under ~petidomo to alert users following old links (eg all the search engine entries out there). 3) Commercial affiliations (non-MUD based) are coming to Kanga.Nu. No this shouldn't affect MUD-Dev directly. Yes, mail traffic from the site will go up by at least two orders of magnitude (and quite likely three) with the side effect that MUD-Dev will likely distribute considerably faster. If all goes well, a little later site bandwidth should also go up by at least one order of magnitude, making archive searchers a happier. -- J C Lawrence Internet: claw#null,net (Contractor) Internet: coder#ibm,net ---------(*) Internet: claw#under,engr.sgi.com ...Honourary Member of Clan McFud -- Teamer's Avenging Monolith... </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00158" HREF="msg00158.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: META: Review of FAQ's Bio Section</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Ling <K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00188.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Laws of Online World Design</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00190.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Trusting the Client (Re: Laws of Online World Design)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00158.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: META: Review of FAQ's Bio Section</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00183.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: META: Review of FAQ's Bio Section</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00189"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00189"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00157" HREF="msg00157.html">[MUD-Dev] Ethics & Identity</A></strong>, Scatter <a href="mailto:scatter#thevortex,com">scatter#thevortex,com</a>, Mon 12 Oct 1998, 17:38 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00155" HREF="msg00155.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: META: Review of FAQ's Bio Section</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Mon 12 Oct 1998, 16:13 GMT <UL> <li><Possible follow-up(s)><br> <LI><strong><A NAME="00156" HREF="msg00156.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: META: Review of FAQ's Bio Section</A></strong>, Benjamin D.
