[ruby.io.splice] [PATCH] move mailing list to ruby-io-splice@bogomips.org

[ruby.io.splice] [PATCH] move mailing list to ruby-io-splice@bogomips.org

[Eric Wong]

The public-inbox + mlmmj setup on bogomips.org allows posting
without subscription and offers downloadable archives via git.
The lack of rsyncable archives on librelist nowadays and
subscription-required nature of librelist are points against it.

Repliers are now encouraged to Cc: all recipients (using the
reply-all function of their mail client) since many readers are
not subscribed.

This project has never accepted or encouraged HTML email, but
librelist accepted it.  The bogomips.org mail server is
configured to treat HTML mail as spam, so do not send HTML mail
if you expect a response.

Users who wish to subscribe may send a message to:

	ruby-io-splice+subscribe@bogomips.org

Similarly, they may unsubscribe via:

	ruby-io-splice+unsubscribe@bogomips.org

HTTP archives are available via:

	http://bogomips.org/ruby-io-splice/

ssoma users may also use: git://bogomips.org/ruby-io-splice
(see README change)

Old messages to the librelist addresses will continue to
get routed to the new mailing list.

I forgot to make this clear: you must resubscribe to the new list
since librelist does not publish subscriber lists at all.

Thanks!
