Hi all,
Given my diminishing work on FVWM, I need to think about handing over the
FVWM Forums [1] and the FVWM Wiki [2]. I cannot devote the time needed for
their maintenance, nor do I want to act as a point of contact for them
anymore.
They're very low traffic sites, and the only real burden will be the PhpBB3
maintenance. Whomever wishes to take that on might want to consider
upgrading that, and/or ditching it for something else entirely. Note that
there are still a number of users who use that site. The wiki, by contrast,
is less used. In fact, much of the content therein has come from myself.
One final thing to note, I own the domain name fvwmforums.org and am willing
to hand that over, and furthermore, if you want to take this on, you'll need
to consider hosting of the wiki since I won't want to be using my domain for
this in the future.
Jaimos Skriletz is currently very kindly hosting the forums for me. I don't
know if he's willing to continue that given I'm handing this over to someone
else, so I'd consider hosting that yourself. He's been exemplary in his
role as host and has done a great job at ensuring no real downtime as a
result, so thanks Jaimos!
Any questions, please ask.
This thread seems to have decended in to a different subject altogether, so
I want to bring it back to my original question. Those of you concerned
about FVWM's continued development can ask in a different thread---I do not
want nor care to discuss it here.
I talked to Thomas and to keep the data alive I am taking the wiki and
will now host it at fvwmforums.org/wiki and since I am already hosting
the forums I just need to take control of the domain to get the
responsibilities out of Thomas' hands.
Thank you Thomas for all you have done for fvwm over the years and
passing this data on as so it won't be lost to the community.
I will keep an aloof eye and of course backups of the data just in case,
but over all I will not be actively moderating the sites. I am able to
host these sights for the foreseeable future and if anyone wants to step
up and add to them or moderate them more actively, we can deal with this
at that time.
I expect the transition to happen sometime this week.
