[odf-discuss] Impending loss of Fellowship's .org domain name

[Jean Hollis Weber]

Apologies to those of you who get this twice, but I know some 
people are on one list but not the other, and we need to get this 
information spread around quickly as much as possible.

As some of you know, due to a long-running dispute with our 
former web host (Gisol), we have been unable to gain control of 
our .org domain name, which has now expired and will soon cease 
to work. We may get it back eventually, but there will a period 
of time when it won't work. The website itself was moved to a new 
hosting service long ago.

As a backup, Alex Hudson and I have set up 
opendocumentfellowship.com and AFAIK everything works fine except 
for access to the mailing list archives (which should be fixed 
soon). You may have noticed that recent messages from the lists 
have come from a .com address, so the lists themselves work fine.

This note is to ask people who have links to the Fellowship's 
website to change those links from .org to .com as soon as 
possible, so they don't suddenly become dead links.

We need to write a proper press release about this, and contact 
people and websites that we know are linked to us, but I just 
haven't had the energy to do any of that. I've left out a lot of 
background information in this note, some of which could go into 
a p.r.
