From mark.phillips at mophilly.com Sun May 11 18:17:03 2008 From: mark.phillips at mophilly.com (Mark Phillips) Date: Sun May 11 18:18:17 2008 Subject: Repost: Welcome to the omnisdev lists at omnis-dev.com Message-ID: <326FC68C-681F-494A-B293-1AEB886A7434@mophilly.com> A couple of people wrote to say they had not seen the welcome message we posted on May 8. Here it is again if you missed it ( or it missed you ). Also, it has been brought to my attention that some are having trouble accessing the archives. Given that Mother's Day is observed in many locales this weekend, my co-list-moms are off line today. We will sort this out in the week ahead. I apologize for the english only cross post. I just wanted to get the message out. Thank you for your patience. - Mark Phillips ============================ Fellow listers, The four of us have taken on management of the list server in response to David and Clifford's decision to step down as list administrators. We hope you will accept this move with the spirit of kindness and concern for our little trailer park along side the Internet highway that we felt when we accepted the responsibility. We realize that several people have graciously offered to take this task on and others have set up their own lists this week. To the former, we invite you to send suggestions. To the latter, please do not feel that we assume any sort of grand status in this task. If you wish to continue on your own, we will not be offended. We have created exact copies (well, as close as we can anyway) of the OmnisCentral lists. Each of the five languages have been replicated (English, Spanish, French, German and Italian). These are conveniently hosted on the omnis-dev.com domain, where Fred has hosted a searchable archive for the community since 1999. If you were subscribed to an OmnisCentral list, you are now subscribed to the same list on Omnis- Dev.com. The only change you will need to make is using the following posting addresses for the various lists instead of the same addresses @lists.omniscentral.com. English - omnisdev-en@lists.omnis-dev.com Spanish - omnisdev-es@lists.omnis-dev.com German - omnisdev-de@lists.omnis-dev.com French - omnisdev-fr@lists.omnis-dev.com Italian - omnisdev-it@lists.omnis-dev.com Clifford has set up a forwarder for the OmnisCentral posting addresses so that any posts sent to those addresses for the foreseeable future will be automatically forwarded to the posting addresses for the above lists. That ensures the transition will be smooth and that no one has to worry about being stranded on a decommissioned list. Send your comments to us by email; criticisms may be sent via United States Postal Service. Use "Express Delivery" to guarantee delivery within 90 days. We prefer letters be written in long hand in Olde English; it helps us suss out the important details more quickly. But seriously, folks... we're all professionals here, and encourage a continuation of the courteous discourse to which we're all accustomed. In your service, alphabetically by first name, Brian O'Sullivan, Dan Ridinger, Fred Haislmaier and Mark Phillips Admins for the Omnis Developer Community's technical exchange. Serving the community since 1995. _______________________________________________ Manage your list subscriptions at http://lists.omnis-dev.com
