the gemini mailing list is dead
December 31, 2021
The official Gemini mailing list is now dead, possibly permanently.
Welcome back to emptiness; from emptiness
The hard-drive is unwell, perhaps permenantly [sic] so. All services are gone. Some will come back in time.
If you appreciated one of the services and would like it back, or anything else, contact me:
1. mail: fox at orbitalfox.eu

Now many^Wa few people would consider this a cause for celebration, but this is still like… all of Gemini's history contained there. Even if it's never revived we should at least have an archive, right?
Luckily, the magic of The Internet Archive (mostly) saves us! They have up-to-date browsable web archives and sorta up-to-date (up toMarch 2021) downloadable mbox files.

I have archives from early 2020, so plenty to fill in the gaps. I've compiled an archive of the mailing list's entire history in mbox format, from the first message on August 14, 2019 to the last message on December 28, 2021. August 14, 2019 through March 9, 2021 are the official archives, and March 9, 2021 to now are from my personal archives.

(I've updated it a few times because I accidentally left some very large patchsets from other mailing lists in there, so make sure you have the newest version)
