We're alive again!

[Anthony Sorace]

Hello, friends of Plan 9!

After an extended dormant period, Dan Cross and I have taken
on moderation duties for this newsgroup and updated all the
right places, so it should be functional again. We have a
page with a little more information here:

http://9srv.net/comp.os.plan9/

It's not quite up to the old FAQ yet, but I hope to expand
it soon (maybe with info about the cross-product of
vectors). Of note, we're not (currently?) re-creating the
bridge to 9fans.

If you have any issues, the moderators can be reaced at
comp-os-plan9-***@9srv.net (or here, obviously).

Anthony

I love seeing the newsgroup revived! Even if it were to
get no posts. The above page says

Of historical interest, ISC has an archive of
posts related to the creation of comp.os.plan9,
which includes the original call for creation,
vote, and charter.

but the link is empty. I was not able to find what it
might be with, e.g., "plan9 site:isc.org".

There is a gz file (uncompress it) and it includes the info about the
creation.

If your system is behaving like mine, the link isn’t empty, their server is
just set up weird. It causes a download rather than loading the page. I
cannot speak to why they have done things that way. I should make a note
about that on the page.

Well, it's always good to clean up any moderated groups.

Never mind, that’s bogus, I was reading wrong. I’ve fixed the page (and
added a note that it’s a download, which seems silly but whatever). Thanks
for pointing out the error.

Thanks, what I meant with "empty link" was that the source read

<a href="">archive of posts</a>

as you have guessed. I should've been more precise. Thanks for the
fix and everybody also who followed up providing the link!

That's because it is a gz compressed file.

I can of course find it via DDG/4get on the http mirror:
