We also help our a lot of emacs newbies there. Our channel bot fsbot (the "Free Software bot" (which uses the savannah project erbot, of which i am the author) runs on a shell on gnufans.net currently, which is hosted by me. But that host is often down because of cable problems at my house. I am making this request to you on the suggestion of fellow #emacsers. It would be nice for us #emacsers, if I could get a shell account on one of your hosts (say, savannah or gnu.org), from which i could run emacs and thus run fsbot uninterrupted. It would be much more convenient if separate usernames could be made available for "deego" and "fsbot". I currently run 7 different bots based on the ErBot package for various free software channels on #freenode, but fsbot is the one most used and most popular. fsbot/erbot is based within emacs, all bots' content is freely distributable under FDL, and the bots are invaluable to us as channel bookmarks, information storage, elisp interpretors, etc. fsbot also hangs out on #gnu and #fsf. I also maintain "usage statistics" for #gnu, #fsf, #emacs etc. on gnufans.net which have been in the channel topics for quite a while. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?func=detailsupport&support_id=102175&group_id=11 _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
