The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Repost + New suggested additions: WebStandard 3.0 Proposal

jim >I missed the rest of the thread - could someone mail me a copy of the
jim >proposed web standard?  Or is there an archive?

Here is the Webstandard 3.0 again:

1. Packages install cgi-bin scripts / executables as

/usr/lib/cgi-bin/x

which the webserver makes accessible via URL http://localhost/cgi-bin/x
by whatever means available.

The webserver / sysadmin does not need to have the cgi-bin pointed
to that location but might instead choose arbitrary methods to
increase security accessing those executable scripts.

2. Package documentation is installed in /usr/doc/package/somename.html
as per our policies and is accessible as

http://localhost/doc/package/somename.html

Again it is irrelevant how the webserver makes these files accessible.
In the simplest case this could be done with a symlink or a alias in the
webserver configuration file.


Additions to be considered:

3. If applications need access to the webserver document root they should
   install documents in /var/www (which might be a symlink to the location
   where the sysadmin actually keeps the real document root.)

4. Perhaps Joost could add to his menu tool the capability to generate a
   file /var/www/menu.html so that Web Applications can register
   themselves into a menu.
