Time to step up, I guess.

A few weeks ago, I was in an offlist discussion with the 
maintainer of the RPM.ORG website -- who was snowed in with 
work.  I indicated that I was willing to undertake that duty 
and freshen some stale content on the site.

I have a punchlist of itmes for site maintenance which the 
staff at the COLO facility have been good enough to install, 
but it is not quite there yet.  I set an internal date for 
this announcement of 1/1/2002 -- but a couple days early won't 
hurt <much>  I have to be at a LUG meeting in 25 minutes, and 
so cannot take the time to add that list there.  

And indeed wouldn't anyway (see next paragraphs of this
message).

-------------------------------------------------

I just set up a MailMan driven mailing list at:  
rpm-ed@colug.net -- on a host I maintain for a LUG in Central
OH with which I am affiliated.  see:
   http://www.colug.net/mailman/listinfo/rpm-ed
for self-subscription management.

The purpose of that list it to keep EDITORIAL discussion on 
website ideas OFF this list, and where it will (may?) do some 
good.

Similarly, the rpm-ed list will ONLY deal with webpage 
editorial issues -- technical RPM advise should properly 
remail HERE.

If you have ideas on how to make a better http://www.rpm.org/ 
, please consider signing up there.
