Hi Frank,<br>
<br>
What's the status of<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/globus/globus-toolkit-documentation" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/globus/glob<wbr>us-toolkit-documentation</a><br>
<br>
It looks complete, but hasn't been touched in a year. Not sure how easy it will be to generate a usable site from it.<br>
<br>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
we haven't yet talked about the Globus Toolkit (1) documentation and (2) mailing list archives.<br>
<br>
## (1) Documentation ##<br>
<br>
I assume the relevant information for our version will be [1].<br>
<br>
[1]: <a href="http://toolkit.globus.org/toolkit/docs/6.0/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://toolkit.globus.org/tool<wbr>kit/docs/6.0/</a><br>
<br>
Should we also preserve documentation for older GT versions?<br>
<br>
I think there is no issue for documentation parts that can be generated from the source code, like for example manpages.<br>
<br>
I couldn't find any license information regarding the remaining documentation. So what do others think, can we make use of this documentation as is, i.e. can we host it under our gridcf umbrella? Maybe someone close with Globus people could ask them if and how we can reuse it.<br>
<br>
If we can have it as is, the question is, where to host this information? I could think of (a) a subdirectory on the gridcf web site or (b) the wiki of the gct repo. (a) might be better suited to mimic the original structure and can also be better tailored to our needs I assume.<br>
<br>
## (2) Mailing lists ##<br>
<br>
There are/were multiple available. I know at least of the following ones:<br>
<br>
* <a href="https://lists.globus.org/mailman/listinfo/gt-dev" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.globus.org/mailm<wbr>an/listinfo/gt-dev</a><br>
* <a href="https://lists.globus.org/mailman/listinfo/gt-user" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.globus.org/mailm<wbr>an/listinfo/gt-user</a><br>
* <a href="https://lists.globus.org/mailman/listinfo/gt-announce" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.globus.org/mailm<wbr>an/listinfo/gt-announce</a><br>
* <a href="https://lists.globus.org/mailman/listinfo/gridftp-user" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.globus.org/mailm<wbr>an/listinfo/gridftp-user</a><br>
<br>
Especially the gt-user and gridftp-user list archives could still be helpful. And the gt-dev archives might also contain helpful information.<br>
<br>
I assume that these will be gone sometime in the future. So should we not try to preserve their content?<br>
<br>
Here the question is, if the archives of these lists can be preserved by us? I'm unsure if there are any legal issues, as the mailing list users only have a opted in for those Globus lists and might not welcome it if other parties archive their posts. And we also need the consent of Globus I believe.<br>
<br>
Last, should we also create mailing lists of our own for gct in addition to issue tracking via GitHub? It's certainly "easier" and I assume also more straightforward for a user to enlist or write to a mailing list than to create a GitHub account.<br>
<br>
****<br>
<br>
We could also first just ask for how long Globus will keep up both the documentation site and mailing list archives to get a better picture of how urgent this is.<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Frank<br>
