Could one of the list admins please turn the list archive

I don't think it's a good idea to let our setup information leak
to the Internnet via search engines.
The *point* of pydotorg-www is that it is a public list. Private
information should be sent to pydotorg not pydotorg-www.
I was only talking about the archives, not making it a private
list altogether.
Sure, but losing public archives, and the ability to use search engines to search the archives is a big loss.

We don't make the archives of other public lists private because someone sent an email they shouldn't have done - in fact we generally refuse to even remove those emails from the archive.

The detail revealed in this email isn't critical, and I don't think we should lose public archives because of it.

All the best,

Michael


Michael
Thanks.

It looks like power-cycling privileges should be given to more people
(Georg for
example :-)), to avoid potentially long outages likes this.

The problem isn't really 'powercycle privileges', but 'sysadmins
looking
after the machines'  (the former should come with the latter.) I
haven't
been involved with the setup and maintenance of these machines, and I
shouldn't be the only one who can powercycle them -- everyone with
root on
the machine really should be able to, and everyone on
roto-root...@wooz.org (the non-python.org list of admins) has received
instructions at one point or another (actually,  multiple times now.)

Barry, it seems many people with root access on (at least) dinsdale
aren't
on roto-rooters. We should probably fix that, and make sure everyone is
added to ~psf/.ssh/authorized_keys on xs4all.nl so they can access the
remote console/powerswitch as well (unless they have a reason not to
want
that access, I guess.)
