Repost: Welcome to the omnisdev lists at omnis-dev.com

[Mark Phillips]

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.

============================

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 at lists.omnis-dev.com
Spanish - omnisdev-es at lists.omnis-dev.com
German - omnisdev-de at lists.omnis-dev.com
French - omnisdev-fr at lists.omnis-dev.com
Italian - omnisdev-it at 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.
