Well, we've reached item 104, and had one recent complaint about the amount of junk (er, discussion :) here. Is it time for a coop restart? Should we wait a while? What do you think?21 responses total.
Right! just my luck. I've spent two long nights reading all this conf, just to get to the last item, only to find out that it'll all disappear soon...
Now that you've read it you have a whole lot more information and insight into how Grex operates. What more did you expect from reading co-op? Or maybe you were joking. Anyhow, I don't get the feeling this version of co-op is all that large yet, dang. But if others do then go for it.
Item 1 is dated July 1, 1997, making this edition of Coop ten months old. One restart per year feels about right to me -- I think that's approximately what has been done in the past. So how about doing a restart at the same time as the summer Agora restart? When a restart is done, the old version doesn't disappear -- previous editions are kept around for a while. This is the 10th edition, and I see that coop6, coop7, coop8, and coop9 are still online.
you only have to slog through the whole item once to catch up, so it doesn't seem too burdensome for users who are interested in grex's operational management to read a conference of this to get background. besides, you don't have to read it all at one sitting.
Roll over with summer agora is fine with me. Now, how about ideas for a new login banner? And maybe a nice html one for backtalk?
If it uses the <BLINK> tag, I'm outa here! :)
No <blink> tags. I *hate* <blink> tags. :)
1) I'd also veto <blink>, as well as those obnoxious scrolling banners... 2) I'd suggest restarting the coop conference coincident with the installation of a new 'administration', that is, just after the election of officers. re: my earlier post on the time it took me to read all the conf to date: Is there a way for me to download via FTP the entire conference as a single file? then I could read it offline at my leisure...

Couldn't you do
read pass all > temp
at the "Ok:" prompt to accomplish the same thing?
Yep.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to take these and dive into jellyware!

The version of Picospan running here understands '>' just fine. It's also smart enough to turn off the pager when you redirect output, so you don't have to do that. (This also means that if you use a "twit filter" pager, twits won't get filtered.)
Also true of extract, right? If you use the twit filter, then, your iseps & rseps may look a bit funny, I think, with the filter being bypassed.
True.
So, any login banner suggestions? I'd prefer "short" for the ascii version. For the html version, I don't really care how long it is. I full-screen my browser anyway.
Re #1: Me, too!! I hade put off reading some items until I had more time, and I just finished reading them. *sigh*
Shall we roll co-op now? I think the idea was around the agora roll.
The concept rocks.
