[Cerowrt-devel] Is there a sysadmin in the house?

[Dave Taht]

The bufferbloat.net servers are overwhelmed by spam both via email and
via the redmine project management interface. Is there a sysadmin in
the house?

As nearly everything else here is run by volunteers, someone to
volunteer some time would be great, however, I do have a bit of spare
cash now, and time late this month, and am willing to part with it to
get the !@#! spam under control, at least for email. I am dealing with
a backlog of several hundred spam attempts per week against the
mailing lists, in particular.

It looks like updating redmine to include captcha, etc, will take a
lot more work, and I would like to begin taking steps to move that
core service off to virtualized environments, and that is more work
than I feel I can decently ask a volunteer to do.

Please let me know offlist.

Github is the package and code repository for cerowrt. The projects are
managed via redmine (actually, that, plus quite a lot of org-mode).

At the time of conception (2011) the additional services github now
provides were not
available.

I will think upon the idea of leveraging github more. They didn't offer ipv6
when last I checked, and we have a policy of using ipv6 everywhere.

And we are pretty closely tied to redmine.

I am not fond of google groups at all, and vastly prefer conventional
email and  netnews interfaces. But I'm something of an old fart.

At this point, given the leverage that lists.bufferbloat.net has for
googlejuice, the idea of switching to a google group seems a step
backwards.

I wouldn't mind at all if org-mode was a valid means of sharing project
management info.
