[LINK] Changes in the support for the link list

[Tony Barry]

Linkers

Some of you have noticed that various aspects of link, notably the 
web site, have been getting a little ragged round the edges if not 
failing. In part this has been due to my laziness, and in part due to 
a shift by ANU in their support arrangements.

Changes are now happening.

ANU is phasing out majordomo which supports link and replacing it 
with mailman http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mailman/. This has a number of 
advantages.

In particular it's part of GNU and the interface for the list 
administrator is via the web rather than providing a unix level 
account.

They have set up a dummy list for me to get my feet wet. After I have 
explored this I might ask for some help from list members who are 
mailmen gurus and figure out how to go live with this software.

My first job was mail sorting and delivery with the Postmaster 
General's Department over Christmas when I was 15 in 1956!

Full circle :-)

Tony
