From Usenet Big-8 Management Board

Present: TM, RL

  • Infrastructure
    • E-mail received from Google regarding a suspicious login attempt to a Google account tied to one of the Board's e-mail addresses. JE sent an e-mail explaining that he had created the Google account in question with a view to using it to operate a YouTube channel on behalf of the board. (See Minutes/2021-11-05.) The Google account can no longer be used due to loss of the phone number tied to the two-factor authentication, but since the account was never used, JE recommends simply letting the account lapse.
  • (Web)STUMP
    • RL been tidying up the (Web)STUMP documentation but has not yet committed anything pending confirmation from JE on which format (Markdown, Texinfo, or HTML) is the master version
  • Misc
    • E-mail received from Julien Élie of the fr.* hierarchy giving details of their "spring cleaning". Julien mentions that this includes plans to "unmoderate 2 moderated newsgroups which were empty and also without any active moderator". RL to send a reply asking for further details on how they plan to implement this.
