Hi Everyone, A couple of thoughts. I think this message did not go to the User list, because of the "s" in the address, right before the "@" (inkscape-users@lists.sourceforge.netinkscape-users@lists.sourceforge.net). At least I didn't receive it there.

This has been plaguing me, ever since I joined the list (not getting messages addressed to the user list, in my user list folder). I thought the problem was I just can't seem to get my mail rules set properly. I threw my hands up and finally gave up a couple of months ago. Now I just noticed the extra "s" in Martin's message, and looked up the actual address (on SF, since site is still down) to confirm.

It looks like the real address does not contain that "s" and I wonder if other people have the address with the extra "s"? Maybe that explains messages addressed to inkscape-users@...99... not showing in my User List folder? Maybe other people have done that too? OR....does it somehow work both ways (and I still don't have my rules correct)?

Shall I announce in forums about the website being down info? Or will going to User list be enough?

All best, brynn

Hi Martin,

despite all this mess, I wish you a happy Sysadmin Day :) Thanks for keeping us informed and dealing with the flood of bug reports!

We do have content backups (cms etc) which we do each night, so if you've written something recently and would like content from the backup let me know.

- Yes. There are a few things:

I had just changed all those Windows download links to the non-sf addresses (which seems a bad move now... but I couldn't foresee this... - we wouldn't have those Windows dl bug reports and unhappy users now if I had not changed them.... :-( - can't kick myself as hard as I'd like to...).

When OSUOSL has brought the db back, it would be good if you could restore the Windows downloads pages for all languages, *if* it still seems a good idea to use our own file archive instead of the sf ones until they are in the resources system.

Also new: - Animation page (all languages) - A few smaller changes to the FAQ (at least German, English) - To-Do list (all languages) - Contribute page had been updated (at least German, English)

Thanks again, Maren

We don't keep backups of user registrations or uploaded

gallery items so those in the last two weeks are gone.

Like last time I swapped the database to a read only sqlite db from April. So at least the website shows base pages, there's still some errors since I really didn't expect database fallback to be a huge part of what we had to deal with but it's something we may want to improve if we think osuosl's database is likely to have problems again in the future.

Thanks for your attention.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
