Hi!!  My boss scheduled a staff meeting for tomorrow during our call, so
I'm not going to get to see you on the phone.  I'll check into the etherpad
before/after, though.

Jerianne just gave me Denny's email address: robdcraw@gmail.com. Can
someone who can talk server (which I think is everyone but me) talk to him
about sharing/transferring access?

Alan can't help, he transferred all the files to Jerianne and Denny so
long ago. We really need Jerianne to respond and get on board for
moving and fixing it. I may still have Denny's direct email address in
my sent mail from years ago, let me do some digging.

I'd be happy to host it, I have server space. But I don't know
anything about running the wiki back end. I'm also happy to pass it
along to someone else that knows the tech end if they are dedicated to
keeping it growing and thriving for a couple years. And I think if we
can get all the files, a smart move would be for at least one more
person to have a back up, so it's not so dependent on one person. Or
host it within some larger public wiki domain where it will never go
away. --Dan

Thanks for the info, Dan!

I emailed Jerianne earlier this week and followed up on Facebook today.

If a week or so goes by, might it be worth it to write to Denny

directly? I

don't think I have an address for him. If I do, it would be from 2011,

so

possibly no longer active.

I could also reach out to Alan, in case he still has root. I haven't

been in

touch with him in a long time either, but I'm friends with him on

Facebook.

Dan, what do you think is the best strategy?!?

I've never run the server end of ZineWiki, so I'm actually not sure.

Alan

Lastufka started ZW and ran it, then when he wanted to quit, Jerianne

and I

stepped up since we were to of the big contributors and admins

already. But

Jerianne's partner got the database files and has been running the

back end.

I know they have had multiple problems with updating Wiki versions

and don't

seem to be interested in devoting much time to solving them. And

Jerianne

isn't very responsive to messages about it, although she does seem

open to

passing along all the files is someone else wants to host it and get

it

running correctly. So I think that's the best course of action and

I'm happy

to facilitate it happening. I'm just as frustrated as everyone else

that

we've built a great database of zines and it's got somewhat crippled
usability. Ideally someone gets access to the files from Jerianne,

downloads

the database, uploads them to a new server running the latest Wiki

software,

and we add a few admins and clean it up and get it running smoothly

again.

Hi Dan,
I'm writing to introduce you to Alison, ( ajodell@ufl.edu

ajodell@ufl.edu)  who might

have time to do some of the ZineWiki tech fixes and back-end work,
depending on what's needed.  Can you talk a little more about what's
been going on?  I've also looped Jenna in to this.

Finally, this Saturday a Union Catalog working group is having a

phone

conference to talk about ZineWiki and possible ways that we can use

it

as a data source.
Here's our note space/agenda.  It would be great if you wanted to

join
