[Web4lib] Web4Lib Transition

[Roy Tennant]

It may have not been the best idea to do a major mailing list 
switchover right before being on the road for two days. But being 
stupid, I did it anyway. So for those who have been inconvenienced by 
this transition, I apologize.

I have been slowly putting things to right, with help from the 
OCLC/Webjunction staff, but at this point if you still have a problem 
please email me directly at roy.tennant at ucop.edu.

I admit that I could have done a better job to inform both myself and 
others on the differences between ListProc (our former software home) 
and Mailman (our current one) prior to the migration. But the day job 
seems to intervene in the most annoying ways.

In any case, I appreciate the patience and good humor that Web4Lib 
subscribers have exhibited in this transition, and I hope that no one 
has been too inconvenienced or annoyed. If, by any chance, you find 
yourself suddenly without Web4Lib mail when you want it, or suddenly 
getting it when you don't want it, please let me know. Meanwhile, I'll 
try to beef up the Web4Lib web pages with more information on exactly 
how to interact with Mailman, as well as edit the Mailman-produced 
pages to be more informative and work better with the non-Mailman web 
pages.

Finally, I beg your forgiveness for the lack of archive searching, 
which unfortunately may not be recovered for another two weeks due to 
travel obligations. I promise to get it back in operation as soon as I 
have the time.

Thanks again for your patience as we complete this transition to our 
new home.
Roy
