[sumo] [List Admin] Change over procedures

[Kuramarujo]

Hi all,

 	I know I've been MIA still but I do promise you I am working hard 
in the background on the list migration issue.  I wanted to give everyone 
an idea of how things will go when it does happen.

 	When the time comes, the server will go offline for a few hours 
then come back up under the new IP address.  As mailing list users you 
will not need to do anything at all.  The only impact will be that the 
list will be unavailable for the few hours it takes to move things and for 
DNS to propagate.

 	From a user perspective, messages to the list will be 
undeliverable for a few hours then everything will start flowing as if 
nothing happened (theoretically).  Most of the people who live closer to 
the actual home of Sumo will likely sleep right through the whole thing.

 	I am not anticipating any problems with this but, as Kofuji can 
attest, computers and networks tend to be less than cooperative even for 
minor changes.

 	If anyone needs to reach me during the time we're offline my 
backup email is joe.klemmer at gmail.com (yes, I really should get one that 
says kuramarujo at gmail.com one of these days).

 	Ok, I'm off to bed.

'Night,
K-jo the sleepy
