NewtonTalk list moving servers

Grant Hutchinson warns the good folks over at the NewtonTalk mailing list that, with a server switcheroo, some outages might creep up.

Says Splorp:

Bill Shamam and I will be migrating the NewtonTalk mailing list and website to a new server within the next several days. This move will also involve switching the mailing list to run on new software. This is a necessary change as the current list software (eCartis) has not been supported or actively developed for several years.

With any transition that involves technology, data and the aethernets, things are bound to break. We will be doing our best to keep the downtime to a mimimum, but there will be gaps in the availability of the list and the website.

The mighty list admins will be using Mailman to power the e-mail list from now on.

Right now NewtonTalk.net is in fact down. Keep up-to-date on list happenings over at NewtonTalk’s Twitter account.
