Wow! Glad to see everyone here again.Hi and welcome back!
Thank you to all who made this happen!
Look forward to your review too......and especially about the keyboard....
What I have been hunting for is the link to the main wiki page, and not sure what it is! Anybody know?The Wiki pages used to be accessible via the "Community Links" link at the top of the forum. The wiki can be found on archive.org here:
In the absence of any comments from offroadgeek about appointing another admin, and after a private commendation for Varti, I have promoted him to an admin.What can I say... thank you and thanks for your confidence!
I am still hoping to hear back from @offroadgeek and @DZ about shell access, offroadgeek did initially reply.I can send you DZ's contact on Google, though as I understood offroad is the only admin having ibiblio's shell access, I don't know how much he could help.
I would very much like to see the wiki restored, if only in a read only state. There was a lot of useful information on it and now the only way to access it is by the limited snapshots provided by internet archives.I'd also like to see it restored, and I could give a hand keeping it uptodate. I was btw thinking of compiling a list of all the various dealers still selling Zaurus accessories, or updating the list of compatible wifi adapters.
Is there any chance of getting www.oesf.org to redirect to the forum ?I second that, it would be handy.
Hello Everyone,Indeed... I have a family now, and less and less free time, I sometimes miss the days when I had whole weekends free for my hobbies...
It's been a long time. we're all older and greyer I'm sure.
I appointed a new moderator today, thanks [https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showuser=21713 varti] for being volunteered.Thank you for appointing me, I like to help here whenever possible.
I also amended the sign-up/validation process to hopefully make it easier for someone to become a member. Even the validation forums had become full of spam. Varti kindly cleaned a lot of it out, I only did the first four pages, Varti did the other 20-ish!
I'd like some other active members to volunteer to be moderators too. And if people can second their appointment, promote someone to be an admin as well.
One problem we have is that there doesn't appear to be anyone with a shell account on the server, or ftp access to remove some of the dodgy files which have been put onto the server when security was breached. I am hoping we can get that and make things better.That's great to hear!

I had a brief exchange of messages with offroadgeek and he seemed amenable to giving someone the ftp access needed.
I'll try and spin another whole forum archive using httrack and post a squashfs archive with namazu free text DB like I once did long ago.Please do it, we should store ASAP all the posts here so that nothing would get lost. The best thing would be to have both a public httrack dump, which can be mirrored by anyone, and private copies of the filesystem, to be stored by one or more admins.
EDIT: I have talked with speculatrix about the matter, unfortunately neither moderators nor admins (like him) have access to the file structure, except offroadgeek.Quote from: VartiWell, it has happened once, with one of the search results with the "Call of Duty" tag, that I was redirected on a phishing site instead of the forum's thread, so I believe that this malware can be harmful when searching the forum via Google (I do that sometimes).
Varti
I see what you mean, they are in the oesf domain although not in the forum itself. But, who has admin rights who can remove those pages? Do moderators or does it have to be someone at a higher level?
Thanks for link....remember reading about this device years ago...seemedbpretty advanced at the time.I have never owned one, but from what I can see from the photos a major drawback of the MI-C1 was the lack of backlight, the screen is barely visible; some of the later MI models seems to have the backlight implemented.
Hope this makes sense....It does
