Box-Admins Team Report for April, 2006

> The box-admins team is reponsible for seeing that the community shared
> server is maintained and setting up any new features to be hosted on
> that server.
>
> I said there would be more to say about the new support for Subversion
> on the community server.  I can say that as far as I'm aware it is  
> ready
> but it has not yet been fully tested nor is it being used yet.  Marcus
> requested the setup but has not been able to come up with the time to
> get things started on his end yet.  Hopefully he will find some time
> soon to work on this and will let us all know when it is ready.
>
> Responsibility for the http://ftp.squeak.org/ site was transferred to
> the website team some months ago but that team continued to use the
> account previously setup for Bruce O'Neel for updating the site.  To
> continue the transition I went ahead and changed the configuration and
> permissions so now anyone with access to the website team's account on
> the server can also access the FTP site for updating.  Unfortunately I
> did not take into consideration the fact that the release team would
> need access to add updates to the update stream and to upload new  
> image
> releases.  Once this was pointed out to me I went ahead and gave the
> release team access to the website account.  This works for now but  
> some
> thought needs to be given to how to better coordinate this in the
> future.
>
> Other than giving Marcus a hand with a mailing list issue (forwarding
> messages sent to old defunct ezmlm lists to the new matching mailman
> lists) it was otherwise a quiet month.
>
> I want to thank the community for the monetary support
> needed to fund these boxes and remind them that the bills continue to
> appear and that you can currently contribute to the hosting bills by
> going to
>
> http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/
>
> and clicking on the 'donate' button at the top right.  Note that a
> donation here may be used for other Squeak Foundation services  
> including
> but not limited to development, development infrastructure, and
> promotion of Squeak.
>
> The services being hosted have continued to grow and include (but are
> not limited to):
