Dear GPLRank users, the massive success and popularity of GPLrank has a downside: While the machine is ticking along fine (it's only a Pentium 90), it's hosted on a server within my old University. The IP traffic GPLrank generates will not go unnoticed for very much longer, and I will have to *shut down* the GPLrank server on June 18th (next Sunday) at the latest. I'm sorry to pull such a drastic measure on the GPL community, but unless someone volunteers to host GPLRank on another server there's no way around this. If you think you can help, point your browser here: http://gplrank.schuerkamp.de/help.html and see if you can help us! Thanks much in advance for your time, Uwe -- Uwe Schuerkamp http://www.schuerkamp.de/ uwe.schuerkamp at telemedia.de for direct mail (from: is spambox) PGP Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

Good news: Udo Schuermann of RingLord Technologies (http://ringlord.com/) has generously offered hosting GPLRank for the GPL community on one of his servers. We'll be making the switch next Saturday around 1800 GMT, so expect some downtime then. Rejoice, the future of GPLRank looks rather bright again! ;-) Thanks again to Udo for his help, Uwe -- Uwe Schuerkamp http://www.schuerkamp.de/ uwe.schuerkamp at telemedia.de for direct mail (from: is spambox) PGP Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

Excellent news Uwe. Your original post was making me feel really guilty for making the original announcement of GPL Rank here at ras. Long may GPL Rank continue. Keep up the good work and if you need any help just ask. Cheers Phil -- GPL Rank: +70.14 secs http://www.youpies.co.uk

A big thanks to Udo and Uwe for their work on what looks to me like the biggest motivator that GPL has ever seen. J. P. Hovercraft Uwe Schuerkamp wrote:
