Subject: ADMINISTRIVIA - harp-l status

Dear Harp-L,

I just wanted to bring y'all up to date on what's been going on here at
garply.com, and why certain things (like the FAQ) haven't been getting
done.

The FAQ: Harv gave me that FAQ months ago, but I simply haven't had time
to get it on to the garply harp-l archives. I am working on a
mechanism to allow easy updating of this document by a set of
designated maintainers. I hope to have this finished by the end of
the year (I'll be taking a week "off" between Christmas and the new
year, to work on personal projects lke harp-l).

The Web Archives: we still have a problem with generation of the
search indexes of the web archives. This is affecting several of the
commercial mailing lists we run, so I am working hard on solving this
one. Util I get this fixed, the search engine in the archives will
continue to be flakey.

Members Only: You will be pleased to hear that the new policy of
"members only can post" has saved the list from about a dozen followups
to the Samantha spam and other unsolicited mailings, some of which ran
to over 2,000 lines.

Net Results:

Net Results (my company, which runs garply.com), has grown somewhat
over the last year.

For example, up till 3 months ago, our mail hub (the machine that
harp-l runs out of) had handled 3 million messages in a year. In
the last 3 months, it has delivered 4 million. I expect it to reach
a million a week within 6 months.

Harp-L contributes a fair chunk of our mail load. At any one time
there is upwards of 2,000 items in the mailq being delivered to harp-l
members.

Our entire Internet connection was being eaten up with mail delivery
traffic, and we have been working frantically to increase the size of
this pipe. We now have a full T1 (1.544Mbits per second). Just for
reference, this costs around $2000 a month in telco and port charges,
and required and investment of over $3000 in digital modems (DSU's).

We have also split out our web, mail and other services on to an extra
three machines (all Digital Alpha AXP boxes, with 233MHz processors,
4Gb of disk and 128Mb of memory). Each of these is a $10,000+
investment.

The new systems are more or less in place and running. It has been
a hectic period of systems admin, and to be honest this is the first
chance I've had to even read harp-l for two months.
