Part of this is a description of the state of affairs (I can't find the web/maintenance mailing-list on <https://lists.lopsa.org/mailman/listinfo>, it appears to have gone private? So discuss@ it is) and partly a question of etiquette.
A while back (2006??) I wrote some content for the LOPSA blog. I went to check on one of the pieces with a public name and it was unreadable, after a content migration which did not keep the old blog markup formats. I tried to fix it up and had some limited success, but it has been a reminder of the worst depredations of the sort sysadmin normally try to steer clear of. GUI editors which don't respect the plain-text changes, arbitrarily keeping some, losing others; including losing the changes to the HTML table carefully constructed using the GUI view and not modified in plain text. I'm glad I took a break for dinner, saving what I had, rather than investing even more work which would have been silently dropped. I've just given up. The half-done migration is still there, at <https://lopsa.org/SSLIntro> When content has been written for use on one site, what is the etiquette on taking it back for the author's own blog? Is it acceptable to replace the original text with a "see over there" link? Is it just Not Done to drop in a link like that, or Not Done to reclaim content? I really don't know the etiquette and honestly just want to know what the right thing to do is, to get this back into being a useful resource for the community.
