OT: mailing list activity

[Alan BRASLAU]

This is totally off-topic:
but given the fairly strong Dutch implication
in creating ConTeXt, it may not be surprising
that traffic on the mailing list has slowed-down
recently.

Not to ruffle the feathers of everyone else
on the mailing list, either...

  Well, this is OK, it does not harm to mix Apple and Oranjes from time
to time ;-)

When I was at tug our main (rather new) NAS crashed (used for internal 
use as well as projects). Then, when back, I set up the backup one (also 
new) and it crashed as well. So, I ended up with installing yet another 
one (this time I took our fallback app server). In the process I need to 
redo backup schedules etc as well (as other machines now have to be 
used). This all happens in jet-lag mode.

So, next week I hope to be back to context etc.

Oh! I thought that you were off in South Africa... :)

No, seriously, I hope that you did not misunderstand.
My post was not a complaint, not at all.
Rather an acknowledgment of the success of Holland
(and of Spain) so far.

P.S. Nevertheless, now that you are back and your servers
back on line, we expect ALL outstanding bugs to be quickly
and expertly resolved.
