It's still available, but no point in advertising something
which increases the dependency on a centralized subscriber list.
Subscription will never be required to write to our
centralization-resistant public inbox (which anybody can
read/mirror using HTTP(S) or NNTP).
The mailing list has only attracted a tiny handful of
subscribers since Rubyforge died, and more than half of the
subscribers imported from Rubyforge have bounced off
(or unsubscribed).

Archives are crucial to preserving history and knowledge in Free
Software projects, so promote them for projects we depend on.

This isn't anything new, just explicitly stating what's always
been the case.
In other news, I hate formal things.

Email was never private, and won't further burden myself or
any future maintainers with trying to maintain someone elses'
privacy.
Offering private support is also unfair to readers on public
lists who may get a watered down or improperly translated
summary (if at all).
Instead, encourage the use of anonymity tools and scrubbing of
sensitive information when the sender deems necessary.

Tis better to pull than push, or something like that.

HTTPS helps some with reader privacy and Let's Encrypt seems to
be working well enough the past few months.
This change will allow us to reduce subjectAltName bloat in our
TLS certificate over time. It will also promote domain name
agility to support mirrors or migrations to other domains
(including a Tor hidden service mirror).
http://bogomips.org/unicorn/ will remain available for people on
legacy systems without usable TLS. There is no plan for automatic
redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS at this time.

It's not worth mentioning pre-Rack versions of Rails anymore,
and there are a few async Rack applications reliant on
EventMachine which we do not use.
Some uses of chunked request decoding are not well-handled
with nginx in front, anyways; so avoid mentioning them.
Additionally, avoid introducing new terms into the lexicon
and just refer to "mailing list" as a generic term.

ISSUES: note images are considered spam as well as HTML.
Links: Clarify we may only endorse the Free versions of nginx, not the
non-Free versions.
Add a link to Starman as a unicorn derivative, as I even use Starman
myself. Remove yahns, since it's really the complete opposite of
unicorn and probably not appropriate to place next to Starman and
gunicorn

public-inbox supports read-only NNTP access nowadays to make it
easier to follow archives. It is read-only to encourage Cc:-ing
all participants (which avoids reliance on the few-points-of-failure
behavior of NNTP). Unlike email, NNTP also lacks good anti-spam
filtering.
Additionally, the gmane group also got redirected to the
bogomips.org address at some point since RubyForge died.
While we're at it, link to my post about enabling the submission
port (587). It's been a year and nothing bad has happened, yet.
Finally, remove most of the documentation for ssoma since it's
unlikely anybody will use it given the existence of NNTP access.
It did little besides clutter the page. However, git:// (used
by ssoma) remains strictly more efficient than NNTP.

HTML email is too likely to be lost, so more strongly discourage it.
While we're at it, make it clear we allow anonymous and pseudonymous
contributions, unlike many projects nowadays.

This is not anything new, just documenting what has been going
on since the beginning.
There's been a small number of generic networking (or mm) bugs in
the kernel which affect unicorn, but are usually found and fixed
with more popular, non-Ruby servers, first.
Aside from generic performance problems, I don't think there's ever
been a glibc bug which affected unicorn.

mlmmj seems quite usable and maintainable, so we'll run it.

Update the old mailing list info with our new public-inbox info.
The old mongrel.rubyforge.org links have been dead for years,
oh well. There's only a few days left of RubyForge left...
