Moving

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org>]

Yes, I know I've said I was going to move all the stuff from
ifi.uio.no to somewhere else before, but this time I really mean it!
For sure!  Any day now!

So this is just to let you know that as soon as I can get the new
machine set up, I'm going to make quimby.gnus.org the new primary "me!
me! me!" machine.  (It doesn't even have an A record yet, so it
doesn't exist yet.)  (What prompted doing this right now was the 0.64
release with the empty patch.  I'm kinda tired of worrying about full
disks over at ifi.)

The web site at ifi.uio.no/~larsi is still going to exist for several
months, but I'll add headers and/or footers to all the pages directing
people to go to Quimby instead.

I've even designed the new web site!  Whee!  Cascading style sheets!
Whee!

(But my method of designing things surely can't be how people really
do it.  When I want a particular font gif thing, I use LaTeX and then
cut'n'paste from xdvi.  Do real web designers have, like, real web
designing tools?  Are there any for Linux?)

At first, Quimby will just take over as the primary distribution site,
as well as being the ftp site; kinda like ifi.uio.no is now.
www.gnus.org will remain where it is now; in the US.  (Quimby is in
Oslo.)  And I don't want to take over the mailing list; I think Jason
does an excellent job there.  But after a while, I'll start doing that
funky remote CVS thing from Quimby, as well as providing NNTP news
groups like ding.patches and ding.announce.  And, er, whatever else
that would be useful to have.  XEmacs beta mirror?  Emacs pretest
mirror?

Mm.
