PLEASE STOP TESTING

[Arsène Tungali]

Dear Rui and everyone,

I am very sorry for this. So many colleagues wrote with the same or similar
request. Please note that these test messages were sent weeks ago and only
because the server is unlocked now, you are receiving them in bulk. I am
terribly sorry for the incovenience.

>From now on, please do not respond to any test email. If you want to
respond to show that you are still on the list (which is useful to me),
please do reply to only me. I hope everyone will be able to see this
message and they will be responding to me only not to the whole list.

We have also received a number of inquiries from our members, we are
working on them and hope to be able to come back to you with updates or
with changes as you suggested. Please note that we are still fixing some
bugs and it is taking time because we rely on the valuable time some
volunteers have offered to support us through this process.

Lastly, everyone, please try to be kind when adressing any malfunctionning
you notice on the list from now on until we will be fully back. Sometimes,
we, as administrators, have nothing to do with it, we are just trying to
help this community continue to exist. This list is full of technologists
whom, i suppose, understand these types of issues more that anyone else. We
expect collaboration not throwing stones :)

And if you feel you can help, do not hesitate to reach out rather than
simply complaining (by copying the whole list). For those who want to
unsubscribe, i will be coming back to you with guidance on how to proceed
in the next few days.

Best regards,
Arsene, IGC Co-coordinator
