[dev] [OT] Fwd: List merge of g.c.w-m.dwm and g.c.w-m.wmii

Hi Robert,

sorry for starting a new thread at dev_AT_suckless.org. Personally I give
up the hope that the gmane problem will ever be fixed. I had long
discussions during Jul-Sep and nothing really happened. The discussion
wasn't distributed to this list, but here is the last mail I send (see
below).

HTH,
Anselm

Well can we do something? Nearly 3 months passed since we raised this
issue and nothing happend.

In summary:

1. Stop archiving g.c.w-m.dwm and g.c.w-m.wmii (+ fixing the links to
original list archives, see below **)

2. Can we just set up archiving for dev_AT_suckless.org (I can provide
the whole list archive of just that, I did in the past twice as you
will notice in this thread backlog) as g.c.misc.suckless please?

** the original list archive for g.c.w-m.dwm is
http://lists.suckless.org/dwm/ and http://lists.suckless.org/dev, the
original archive for g.c.w-m.wmii is http://lists.suckless.org/wmii/
and http://lists.suckless.org/dev/

Kind regards,
Anselm
