Hi everyone,

I modernized deployment/backup scripts which was the weakest point and am waiting for Martin to transfer the ownership of server, so I can safely test them on live environment, before they go productional.

I also did some research and layed out plans concerning permissions and access. Currently, the registration is enabled again, with users asked to complete a google captcha on all forms. The emailing service is still turned off and requires my intervention, so we can try it out this setup rather safely to see how much effort needs to be invested further. The emailing will need elevated rights sooner or later, but here is also other workload waiting in those areas.

The last email batch was the first one that went smoothly. We have about 450 users whose email addresses are not valid any more. They should be extracted, stored and a notice shown in case those users would ever log in again - this a workload of about two days.

There are also the 100 users that got lost lately - you wanted me to extract those email addresses and invite them to register again. This would take about half to a full day.

A task which is also waiting is to migrate the disconnex subdomain, which is still running on Daniels server. I estimate this to take maximum half a day.

A small cosmetic task I have here on the list is to include a scroll-down-suggestion icon on the frontpage. This is about an hour of work.

I am currently at something over 26 hours invested in October. I am attaching a timesheet - I created a summary already, because I am moving to a different time tracking platform (the one I used turned out to have an inherently payed pricing).

I estimated the extra workload for October to 30 hours, which means (counting in the 6 planned maintenance hours), there are 10 hours left. Let me know your priorities, which tasks you would like me to undertake. I will need to reorganize the project a bit and move it to a different project management location since those here belong to martin. But that can wait until november.

"We have about 450 users whose email addresses are not valid any more. They should be extracted, stored and a notice shown in case those users would ever log in again - this a workload of about two days." Isn't deleting such accounts something Jan and Jaspal could do?

"There are also the 100 users that got lost lately - you wanted me to extract those email addresses and invite them to register again. This would take about half to a full day." Urgent task but if you just send them an email to invite them to register a second time? Jan, Jaspal could help formulate the message?

"A task which is also waiting is to migrate the disconnex subdomain, which is still running on Daniels server. I estimate this to take maximum half a day."

"A small cosmetic task I have here on the list is to include a scroll-down-suggestion icon on the frontpage. This is about an hour of work." Yes and important.

Would that all make sense now? Can one send around general messages again now?
