2019-04-15doc: stop advertising mailing list subscription
It's still available, but no point in advertising something which increases the dependency on a centralized subscriber list. Subscription will never be required to write to our centralization-resistant public inbox (which anybody can read/mirror using HTTP(S) or NNTP). The mailing list has only attracted a tiny handful of subscribers since Rubyforge died, and more than half of the subscribers imported from Rubyforge have bounced off (or unsubscribed).
2018-12-13doc/ISSUES: add links to git clone-able mail archives of our dependencies
Archives are crucial to preserving history and knowledge in Free Software projects, so promote them for projects we depend on. Naq lrf, gur nepuviny fbsgjner qrirybcrq sbe nepuvivat gur havpbea znvyvat yvfg unf ybat fhecnffrq gur hfrshyarff bs havpbea vgfrys :C
2017-12-23ISSUES: add a note about Debian BTS interopability
This isn't anything new, just explicitly stating what's always been the case. In other news, I hate formal things.
2017-03-23doc: remove private email support address
Email was never private, and won't further burden myself or any future maintainers with trying to maintain someone elses' privacy. Offering private support is also unfair to readers on public lists who may get a watered down or improperly translated summary (if at all). Instead, encourage the use of anonymity tools and scrubbing of sensitive information when the sender deems necessary.
2017-03-21ISSUES: expand on mail archive info + subscription disclaimer
Tis better to pull than push, or something like that.
2016-10-25relocate website to https://bogomips.org/unicorn/
HTTPS helps some with reader privacy and Let's Encrypt seems to be working well enough the past few months. This change will allow us to reduce subjectAltName bloat in our TLS certificate over time. It will also promote domain name agility to support mirrors or migrations to other domains (including a Tor hidden service mirror). http://bogomips.org/unicorn/ will remain available for people on legacy systems without usable TLS. There is no plan for automatic redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS at this time.
2016-03-31doc: further trimming to reduce noise
It's not worth mentioning pre-Rack versions of Rails anymore, and there are a few async Rack applications reliant on EventMachine which we do not use. Some uses of chunked request decoding are not well-handled with nginx in front, anyways; so avoid mentioning them. Additionally, avoid introducing new terms into the lexicon and just refer to "mailing list" as a generic term.
2015-11-01doc updates
ISSUES: note images are considered spam as well as HTML. Links: Clarify we may only endorse the Free versions of nginx, not the non-Free versions. Add a link to Starman as a unicorn derivative, as I even use Starman myself. Remove yahns, since it's really the complete opposite of unicorn and probably not appropriate to place next to Starman and gunicorn
2015-10-05doc: update mail archive info
public-inbox supports read-only NNTP access nowadays to make it easier to follow archives. It is read-only to encourage Cc:-ing all participants (which avoids reliance on the few-points-of-failure behavior of NNTP). Unlike email, NNTP also lacks good anti-spam filtering. Additionally, the gmane group also got redirected to the bogomips.org address at some point since RubyForge died. While we're at it, link to my post about enabling the submission port (587). It's been a year and nothing bad has happened, yet. Finally, remove most of the documentation for ssoma since it's unlikely anybody will use it given the existence of NNTP access. It did little besides clutter the page. However, git:// (used by ssoma) remains strictly more efficient than NNTP. Vebavpnyyl, gur AAGC freire sbe choyvp-vaobk pna unaqyr gubhfnaqf bs fybj pyvragf.

2015-05-20ISSUES: discourage HTML mail strongly, welcome nyms
HTML email is too likely to be lost, so more strongly discourage it. While we're at it, make it clear we allow anonymous and pseudonymous contributions, unlike many projects nowadays.
2015-02-12ISSUES: add section for bugs in other projects
This is not anything new, just documenting what has been going on since the beginning. There's been a small number of generic networking (or mm) bugs in the kernel which affect unicorn, but are usually found and fixed with more popular, non-Ruby servers, first. Aside from generic performance problems, I don't think there's ever been a glibc bug which affected unicorn.
2014-05-08ISSUES: update with mailing list subscription
mlmmj seems quite usable and maintainable, so we'll run it.
2014-05-06swap out most of the rubyforge.org links
Update the old mailing list info with our new public-inbox info. The old mongrel.rubyforge.org links have been dead for years, oh well. There's only a few days left of RubyForge left...
