Remove confusing documentation around ssoma now that we
have NNTP and downloadable mbox support.
Only lightly-checked for grammar and speling, and not yet
formatting. Edits, corrections and addendums expected :>

Using update-copyrights from gnulib
While we're at it, use the SPDX identifier for AGPL-3.0+ to
ease mechanical processing.
|
|
This should be adequate warning for folks who may be
uncomfortable or uncertain about even possessing AGPL
source code due to employer agreements and such.
Disclaimer: I remain completely in favor of AGPL and strong
copyleft, and am more than willing to risk my own future on it.
However, I refuse to even nudge people into downloading AGPL
source code if it presents any legal risk to them.

Centralization sucks, so we mirror everything.
|
|
Also, at least add one of the Tor mirrors (the rest will
be discoverable through the mirrors themselves).
|
|
This means we can still show non-git users a somewhat browseable
URL with a link to the README.html file while allowing git users
to type less when cloning.
All of the following are supported:
git clone https://public-inbox.org/ public-inbox
git clone https://public-inbox.org/public-inbox
git clone https://public-inbox.org/public-inbox.git
torsocks git clone http://ou63pmih66umazou.onion/public-inbox

Might as well eat our own dogfood...
|
|
We no longer scrub content, and instead reject things by
default. Further reduce mentions of ssoma and minor formatting
tweaks.
|
|
Thanks to Let's Encrypt and getssl, we can afford to have
HTTPS for our own hosting, and www.gnu.org has been accessible
over HTTPS for a long while.
While we're at it, update the copyright years, too.

Add a few newlines for readability (perhaps at the expense of
economy). Stop mentioning "Open Source" as it is redundant
and "Free Software" fits our goals, better.
|
|
Strongly emphasize decentralization, as that was actually the
main impetus for my interest in git.
|
|
We'll continue developing and supporting ssoma, but it's unlikely to
gain much adoption in its current form; so stop cluttering up our
own README with it.
|
|
Network connections may use OpenSSL for TLS (as other libraries,
such as GNUTLS do not appear well-supported under Perl). So
give this exception in case somebody needs TLS support for NNTP.
|
|
That's right, we now have our NNTP server running and are
self-hosting a read-only news gateway at:
nntp://news.public-inbox.org/inbox.comp.mail.public-inbox.meta
|
|
In the future, it should be possible to use this:
git ls-files | UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_HOLDER='all contributors' \
UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=2 \
xargs /path/to/gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
|
|
Threading in Xapian is mostly supported by now; so start
documenting things.
|
|
Even with txt2pre, the maintenance/discoverability burden is too
high and lynx still uses too much memory. Unfortunately, we'll have
to keep our INSTALL.html for a while longer on the server since it's
linked, but not index.html!
|
|
Marketing is hard!

This is an 80x24.org project (more on that at another date).
|
|
|
|
We have an HTML homepage, OMG!
|
|
Hopefully this makes the scope and intent of the project clearer.
|
|
"bugs" might confuse and limit the discussion, so "meta" it is!
|
|
Most notably, the INSTALL is geared towards potential server admins,
whereas the README is also for interested "drive-by" readers.
