2021-05-25HACKING: update docs with "git request-pull" info
"git request-pull" is not a well-known command, so add a mention about it to avoid misleading people into thinking we use a centralized service. While we're in the area, put an extra link to the HTTPS archives, since SMTP-based subscriptions are not centralization-resistant. Thanks to Ngan Pham for the feedback.

2019-12-25doc: move from bogomips.org/kgio to yhbt.net/kgio
.org is being sold to extortionists and I couldn't afford to pay the bill to renew bogomips.org either way. So kick it to yhbt.net and be prepared to change when extortionists move onto the .net TLD...
2019-12-25build: remove olddoc from the gemspec
It's an unnecessary dependency for rebuilding the gem.
2016-12-16HACKING: fix linkifcation for Message-IDs
Oops, this is RDoc.
2016-12-16various documentation updates
Use HTTPS URLs when possible, add links to NNTP archives, and note we're a deprecated project.
2015-09-02HACKING: update URL for Message-ID lookup
Prefer to use our own site since it is free of images+JavaScript and may load faster if somebody is already reading bogomips.org and has an open connection and hot DNS cache entry.
2015-08-12minor doc updates
Ruby version changes, dropping Rubinius and MRI 1.8 support, and clarifying a few other things. "Linux kernel" coding style is probably a more accurate of what we've always used as the style is probably better known than K&R nowadays (and we do try to track Linux kernel changes (and email-oriented development style) closely).
2015-01-09doc: switch to olddoc
wrongdoc was difficult to maintain because of the tidy-ffi dependency and the HTML5 changes in Darkfish could not be handled well by Tidy. olddoc is superior as it generates leaner HTML which loads faster, requires less scrolling and less processing power to render. Aesthetic comparisons are subjective of course but completely unimportant compared to speed and accessibility.
2014-11-17new mailing list info: kgio-public@bogomips.org
You may (optionally) subscribe to the new mailing list at: kgio-public+subscribe@bogomips.org If your ISP prevents you from using port 25, port 587 (submission) is open on bogomips.org. You may use Tor if you do not wish to expose your IP when using port 587. Any HTML mail will be flagged as spam, so please do not send it and waste storage and bandwidth on it. Basic, old-fashioned mailing list conventions apply: no top-posting, trim replies, attribute your quotes, short signatures, etc. This existing list will operate in public-inbox "hijack mode": the new address is subscribed to the old librelist, so any messages sent to the librelist are automatically archived to the new public-inbox. Of course, not much happens here, anyways, so nobody notices :) Background: Over the years, I've come to disagree with the subscription-required posting policy of librelist. Combined with disabling of rsync archives, one of my main reasons for choosing librelist back in the day are gone. Lately, I've also been working on public-inbox, http://public-inbox.org/ an "archives-first" approach to mailing lists using git. ssoma (git) archives are available at: git://bogomips.org/kgio-public/ The ssoma format is described at http://ssoma.public-inbox.org/ HTML archives are going to http://bogomips.org/kgio-public/ All archives imported from gmane, and posts to this librelist also go there.
2012-03-07HACKING: add instructions for running tests
Unlike most Rubyists, I prefer GNU make to Rake.
2011-06-15doc: use librelist.org instead of librelist.com
Non-profit TLD is better sounding for a Free Software project.
2011-03-17HACKING: updates for wrongdoc vs rdoc
2010-11-15update documentation with mailing list info
We're a real project, apparently, so it can have its own mailing list.
