I received this email this morning. I've resigned from Mod duties and quit the FFML, but I thought I'd pass it on to you guys anyway.
-----------------------
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. After about 3-4 months of being
down, we're back operational. Just have to unpack a few things and get
back up and running.
First, I want to make something clear: I'm not planning on acting in a
moderator capacity. I'll leave this to the moderators already in place.
My job is to run the machine the list is running on. I'm more likely
to get into writing again, if anything - and hope, in fact, to do
exactly that. =^^=
Most of everything is going to be the same protocol, but what is winding
up changing is the interface. We're running Mailman here (rather than
Listar/Ecartis, which the FFML ran on for over a decade), so the
interface is a little different, and is pretty much done through the web.
First and foremost, CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR THE WELCOME MESSAGE. If you
have to, look in your spam traps. In this email are complete
instructions for how to log in and change your subscription options. If
you have multiple welcome messages, use the MOST RECENT one. If you
have misplaced this email, go to this URL:
chez-vrolet.net/mailman/options/ffml
...and follow the prompts.
Full documentation for Mailman can be found here:
www.gnu.org/software/mailman/users.html
As we here on the 'net are prone to saying, RTFM.
For those of you who had digest or vacation flags on your addresses,
you'll possibly have to replace them at your option. For those who were
hidden, by the time you get this, I'll likely have replaced your flag.
Please make sure you have your configurations set accordingly.
There are probably going to be a few quirks here and there, so please
bear with us as we get this mess ironed out. If, for instance, you got a
duplicate welcome message, sorry 'bout that - apparently the software
freaked out when loading all three thousand of you through the web
interface. Of course, that's what the command line is for. =^^=;;
In closing...well, I really wish I had something more to say about
Philip's passing, but all I can say is that he will be missed, and that
I'm glad he picked up the ball when we left fanfic.com something over
five years ago. Now it's my turn, and as corny as this sounds, I hope
that I can do as good of a job as he did.
