The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Re: WebStandard 3.0 Proposal

I'm assuming that /usr/doc and /usr/lib/cgi-bin will eventually be
symlinks to /usr/share/doc and /usr/share/cgi-bin . When that happens
we have to move files for the user in some postinst script.

Can you _please_ deal with the WN issue? I'll go with your proposal
if you can just fix the problem with it wanting to have its files in-band
with this supposedly ROM data.

Is there anything that deals with .html.gz files yet? I am willing
to live with it being uncompressed for now, but handling compressed
pages _transparently_ is certainly a desirable feature. A CGI script
could do it under some servers I know, perhaps not WN..
