first, a proper announcement: I have tweaked the list configuration to enable what Mailman calls "emergency moderation": all postings should be held until I surf to the admin URL, give the admin password, and click radiobuttons to determine their fate. This seems a very practical solution for such a low-traffic list, and assuming that it works as documented, it should reliably stop spam on sbcl-announce, which should return to being a SBCL announcements list, probably mostly monthly release announcements as before. then, some words of explanation and discussion: On Wed, Dec 13, 2006 at 11:28:36AM -0500, Perry E.

The extra days of sbcl-announce spam are my fault. It's not plural people, it's me; I'm the only list admin, and you're quite right that I haven't paid much attention. As many people will have already noticed, these days with or without scolding, even with repeated punctuation marks, I find I don't have much energy for administrative stuff in general, or for various SBCL stuff that I used to do quite a lot of. Socially SBCL is not exactly thankless work, but neither is the social feedback of the sort that consistently motivates me, and I find I have much less technical motivation than I used to. Possibly part of my lack of technical motivation to hack SBCL is for a "success disaster" perverse sort of reason: SBCL seems good enough for a lot of the stuff that I want to do with it. I notice that I have used many other free software systems heavily --- such as half a dozen programmer's editors, notably uemacs, gnu emacs, and some vi variants --- without being ever being highly motivated to hack them, because although they were far from perfect, they were good enough. These days I am still very fond of SBCL, and I want to avoid seeing it messed up, but it has become unusual for me to get so frustrated at something SBCLish that fixing it seems pressing. (And perhaps it has been particularly unusual this year partly because I have mostly worked on proof-of-concept programs prototyping new algorithms, rather than production code.) Considering my undermotivated state and lackadaisical performance, arguably I shouldn't be the maillist admin. Perhaps, for that matter, I shouldn't be the project admin either; not only do I lack motivation, but the work I have done on SBCL was mostly so long ago that sometimes I feel I lack moral authority as well. If some plausible replacement (such as some coalition of developers) wants to nominate itself as a replacement, it'd probably be fine with me. But until and unless a suitable replacement is available, you should expect a certain relaxedness in administration. -- William Harold Newman <wil...@ai...> PGP key fingerprint 85 CE 1C BA 79 8D 51 8C B9 25 FB EE E0 C3 E5 7C Ubi saeva indignatio ulterius cor lacerare nequit. -- Jonathan Swift's epitaph |
