After 13 years the Debian-Administration website will go read-only at the end of the month. Then later in the year it will transform it into a solely static-site so that the articles, weblogs, and associated comments are not lost - and they can be served via single server or two. Mostly this is happening due to lack of new content being added and folks posting more elsewhere.

  Well, the site's sidebar poll does include the phrase "when this site closes"...

  What will you miss when this site closes?

  They forgot the "Nothing" option.

    Those who won't miss anything will probably not even see the poll, and if they do, not bother answering anyway.
