Avoiding the Death of WWWEDU
Hi everyone. As many of you might know, I'm the listowner of WWWEDU, the
world wide web in education, a list to which many EDTECH readers also
subscribe. Over the last several months, WWWEDU has experienced
informational logjams due to a combination of list growth and slow server
bandwidth. Because of this, CNIDR, the organization which has so
graciously hosted WWWEDU for almost a year now, has asked that I find a
new home for WWWEDU as soon as possible. At cpb, we don't have the
capabilities of hosting lists, so I'm now forced to reach out to all of
you to see if anyone would be willing to host the list.
Clearly, a huge concern will be bandwidth - wwwedu is fairly active and
currently has around 1400 members, so the new list server would have to
be capable of handling the traffic. Also, several hundred list readers
access it solely by way of our WWWEDU archive on the Web, so it would
also be necessary to set up a list-to-www filter.
If you have any questions or if you might be interested in hosting the
list, please email me directly at acarvin@k12.cnidr.org, for I don't want
to waste the bandwidth of this list if it can be avoided. I sincerely
look forward to hearing from you.
many thanks in advance,
ac
