Hi again,
- Make copies of the source of those tools publicly available (they should
all be open source, but some directories are not accessibly for other users from shell IIRC)
- Keep a Foundation-readable snapshot of the toolserver home directories,
user-store, DB dumps etc.
I found this this suggestion rather surprising and I'd like to discuss it with the TS admins first. Not sure if we can just do that. I'll get back to you.
ok, I consulted Nosy, DaB. and Mette about this proposal and we will not make the home directories accessible to others. They can contain all sorts of private data, user names, e-mail addresses, ssh keys, who knows what else - maybe even gpg keys, so handing the complete package over is no option. I wouldn't want to "intrude" into the people's stuff. And we'd get in trouble with the law here, as the German data protection act is binding for us.
It's the slower way to contact all maintainers (which will happen repeatedly) but hey, we've got plenty of time left.
Cheers, Silke
