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.

I'm still waiting.  Anybody that's impatient can grab it from 
ftp://ftp.jimpick.com/pub/dwww

I tested it against all 5 web servers - but I noticed that 4 of them have
already been changed.  Looks like I'll have to come out with another release
pretty quickly.

With the latest version of dwww (1.3) - you can configure it to serve the
html files up via the web server (the default) or via local file access
(the old way).  To do this, add a line DWWW_USEFILEURL=yes to the
/etc/dwww.conf file.  You'll have to regenerate the index files (run
/etc/cron.daily/dwww) and clear the cache too.

I modified the dwww-convert program, which is called from the cgi script,
to be able to serve up the html stored as local files.  This way, you
can read the documentation from another computer.  To do this via cgi,
I had to parse the html and modify the href's to include the cgi script
in the URL.  Doing it this way is slower, but not unbearably slow,
and it's nice to be able to access the documentation on any computer.

I missed the rest of the thread - could someone mail me a copy of the
proposed web standard?  Or is there an archive?

Cheers,

 - Jim
