We already had a plan set up for Slony-I that was not too dissimilar. To wit...- There already is a project set up at pgFoundry, and fairly much all committers at gBorg are members of the projectat pgFoundry- Downloads are being handled from pgFoundry- We figured we'd migrate outstanding bugs to pgFoundry byhand- We figured we'd migrate copies of old mailing list archives- We figured we'd announce the deaths of old lists, andsuggest subscribing to the new ones- We figured there would be some ability to copy CVS over fairly losslessly The *big* steps are moving email and CVS. I really haven't yet heard a peep yet that hasn't been third-hand about the gBorg outage, after it has been out for over a week now. To say that's displeasing is something of an understatement. It certainly leaves me in no mood to want to keep any services I care to actually have running hosted on gBorg. The fact that it has been out for a week, without any public comment being made, certainly gives me pause. I *HOPE* that we can still recover CVS and email. Question about email: Do we need to migrate the old mailing list archives before setting up new lists on pgFoundry? Or could I set up a "slony1-discuss" at pgFoundry, fairly immediately, and migrate in old archives later? [Possibly helpful factor: It's now September, and the last gBorg traffic was dated in August, so we may not need to mix months...] -- (format nil "~S@~S" "cbbrowne" "gmail.com") http://linuxdatabases.info/info/x.html Who needs fault-tolerant computers when there's obviously an ample market of fault-tolerant users?
