emails and spam harvesters.
by Frank Murphy 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

vendors (at) fedora project (dot) org has become a spammy. probably on every list under the sun. It's on both pages below. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/OnlineVendors https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/LocalVendors Am thinking of getting infra to create two new aliases. One for each page. Is it posiible to make it harder for harvesters, when that's done. Maybe a captha like the wiki comments, add 2 + 6? PS: where is the ticket url for website team? not with it today. -- Regards, Frank Murphy, friend of fedoraproject UTF_8 Encoded

As some of you probably know, i always have an eye on peoples privacy, therefor i think it is Fedoras responsibility to guard ones privacy whenever and where ever it can, as being Free in so many ways. Opening a web browser to an outside site always immediately generates privacy-data to that site, whether the user wants it or not (at least you generate IP-traffic). There are many people who always want to be in control of what data they send, when and to whom. The only good choice imho the Fedora Project can make regarding this issue, is starting with a local page or with 'about:blank' thus letting users choose by their selves where to go next on the web. regards Richard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk8rnu4ACgkQ3NhUwsVgVoZlhACfZqmlhD7MOnzddWFi8yMeBxHY n8QAoKKL8zC9tBaCaX85krtOFbb6G9Iq =AQJA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Fedora Infrastructure] #3108: Fedora websites in Polish don't work

#3108: Fedora websites in Polish don't work --------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: raven | Owner: webmaster Type: bug | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 17 Component: Web Content | Version: Production Severity: Normal | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: --------------------------+------------------------ = bug description = After choosing Polish language at http://fedoraproject.org and similar sites Firefox tries to download Perl script instead of showing translated page. It's probably because "pl" is a Perl file extension and something's wrong with server configuration. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3108> Fedora Infrastructure <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure> Fedora Infrastructure Project for Bugs, feature requests and access to our source code.

> http://search.yacy.net/ interesting option but yacy claims space on the installed system. IMHO the start.fdo provides (should provide?) just an option to search around. yacy maybe something to add to the fedora repo. //meine
