Awesome, thanks for the update! I apologize for the negative tone of my previous email. I fully realize that all of us are busy. Thank you so much for your efforts in getting this sorted out.
To provide an update on the mailing list as well:
- ftp.gnustep.org has been serving for a while already over anonymous FTP.
- Earlier this week, I fixed issues that blocked maintainers from
using SFTP to upload new releases.
- Today, I set up ftp.gnustep.org to be served over HTTP as well,
fixing some broken web links.
- Maintainers should now have a way to update the www.gnustep.org
website, and not just gnustep.github.io. There will be further work to
merge these two forks of the website into one.
There are other changes behind the scenes, and I am looking forward to
enabling HTTPS, to migrating MediaWiki as well, as well as figuring
out what to do with other deployed software that used databases on the
old hosting provider.
