Dear Schemers,

As promised, srfi.schemers.org has moved to its new web and email hosts.
The DNS changes may take a day or so to propagate completely, but the DNS
servers I've checked are already up to date, and test messages have been
delivered.

If you notice any problems, please send a note to
[email protected].

With this change, every SRFI, including draft, final, and withdrawn ones,
has a separate Git repository that includes the history of changes to that
SRFI's code and documents.  Links to the Git repos, hosted on Github,
appear on each SRFI's home page.

If you'd rather not use Github to propose SRFIs or revisions to them, feel
free to point the editors at alternate Git repos or to send us patch files.
 (Patch files can be created using git format-patch -M origin/master or git
send-email.)  If you're an SRFI author and would rather not use Git,
either, just send updated files (or links to them) and I'll check in the
changes.

Also, please keep the discussion of each SRFI on its mailing list.  For
example, if you create a pull request, send all your comments to the
mailing list.  While Github's tools can be convenient, we don't want to
lose any of our history to Github.  I have spent a lot of time
experimenting with their APIs, and while it is straightforward to download
almost everything (e.g. comments, issues, and pull requests), we don't have
code in place to do that automatically.

Finally, while the existing archives of SRFI mailing lists are still
present on srfi.schemers.org, new messages will be archived at
srfi-email.schemers.org.  (Links are already in place from the old to the
new.)  I'll be copying the existing archives into the new ones soon.
Mirrors on other archive hosts, e.g. Gmane <http://gmane.org/>, would be
welcome, as would mirrors of the Git repos.

Thanks again to Michael Sperber and the other long-serving editors, to
Matthew Flatt for making the DNS change, and to all SRFI authors and
contributors.  Thanks, too, to Arne Babenhauserheide for detailed feedback
on ways for people to contribute without using Github.

Regards,


Arthur A. Gleckler
for the SRFI editors
