[Gnumed-devel] Re: GNUmed website

[James Busser]

As I finished composing the email below * * *,  I must have had a 
premonition of something awkward happening. The gnumed.net redirect to 
gnumed.org startled me for its lack of advance, or posted, notice 
outlining what is actually happening. As I get only the gnumed-devel 
digest, I checked to see if there was any new posting but saw none.

Sure, there was talk of merging the 2 sites, but there are materials 
still at .net that I and others will want to access, that are now a 
pain to get to without the former .net home page etc.

It seems fair to suggest there are problems here that need mending. Can 
we advised of the outcome of any off-line plans, decisions, and actions 
(current and pending), given that they have clearly affected us and 
will continue to do so?

I was going to write:

t's been 5 weeks since the thread had any activity. David Grant was 
active across the thread and offered to co-ordinate redevelopment, so I 
contacted him to learn of any off-list developments.

As of last week, David had heard nothing beyond the thread which more 
or less died. Sorry if "died" seems too strong for "only" 5 weeks, yet 
it seemed to me people felt web content redevelopment construed a 
priority.

I would like to help David and any others interested in working on this 
but as I cannot discern if a sufficient "team" has come together, 
wondered:

- are there impediments other than people' time, possibly important 
concerns

- within the time that people do have available, is "list" discussion 
the way to assemble a team, or is it only a first step, and if that 
step has died, what is the way to help things forward?
