The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Documentation is in /usr/doc/packagename and thus readonly.

bruce >2. No dependence on the web server implementation.

There is some issue with WN having to write to read-only space but I dont
think we can avoid that. Other webservers dont have this problem and I
think we need to tolerate WN creating its indexes in our Read-only space.

bruce >3. Some means of tuning the CGI scripts for security.

As I said: The webserver maintainer or the enduser can simply point the
cgi-bin at some other location and build a symlink three to the cgi-bins
in /usr/lib/cgi-bin

bruce >I'm not willing to give up having the documentation in a read-only space.

I am not aware of such a suggestion.
