AS a no-more-then-tangential reply I will point out in the defence of anyone who might be held responsible for not "plan[ning] to mitigate this dire situation," that the site content is maintained entirely by volunteers. It's possible that our current approach won't scale, but it's equally likely that there is much more relevant and recent content is available from other sources.
I can't remember anyone who asked for edit permissions being refused. Certainly, responding critically to an email is sufficient proof of sentience to merit permission to edit. Thank you for taking enough interest to want to help. If you feel like organising a crew of willing volunteers to help curate and maintain the content I'll be happy to introduce you to PSF people who might be willing to support such a venture (though I can make no commitment on the Foundation's behalf). regards Steve Steve Holden On Mon, Jun 26, 2017 at 10:15 PM, Fox <fire...@firemail.cc> wrote: > On 11.06.2017 13:43, Chris Angelico wrote: > > Our anti-robot protection is no secret.
