[SBB] Admin: notice of mailing list downtime November 29

[Chuq Von Rospach <[[email protected]]>]

The south bay birds mailing list will be offline starting about 7PM  
on Tuesday, November 29.

I am going to be upgrading the software and moving the list to my new  
host (finally). I hope the downtime will be less than 2 hours.

All list members will receive a new "welcome to the list" message as  
I migrate the subscriber list. This is normal, do not panic. The new  
list will live on a new domain name, plaidworks.org (instead of  
plaidworks.com). The old plaidworks.com addresses will continue to  
work, and this should affect you only if you filter messages on the  
list address or domain (if you don't know what that means, don't  
worry).The switch should be invisible to most of you.

The new server has some new features -- the archives are finally not  
broken, and the links to them work. I've also installed a system to  
manage a Frequently Asked Questions document, and I've put in some of  
the common information for the list. You're welcome to submit other  
FAQ entries via email to me, or via the new FAQ system.

You can check out the archives here:

and the new FAQ system here:

I will send out a note before I shut down the list tomorrow evening,  
so you know to hold off on posting. I'll also send out a note once  
the upgrade is complete. I'm going to be migrating mailing lists over  
the next couple of days; once that is done and I shut off my old  
server, turnaround time for postings to the list should speed up.

(it's all my fault)

Very funny, Scotty. Now beam my clothes down here, will you?
