Someone needs to run the spamlist and e-mails tonight as I will be unable to. ForestH2 t/h/c 02:36, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

After noticing the past few weeks manually distributing the spamlist, I've downloaded AWB and can run the automatic process of distributing using the Wikipedia Signpost account. (I've done a few tests and it seems to work.) This is only intended as a backup to Ralbot, but when Ral is unavailable to publish and/or distribute the spamlist, I (or Ral or Michael, provided they have AWB) can do this using the Signpost account and AWB.

Yeah; AWB is how I've been doing the distribution. I'm working on a long-term solution to ease the annoyance of the many things that have to be done to publish; hopefully it should be done by next issue or the week after. I do plan on publishing next week, but I'll let you know if I can't get to the distribution. Ral315 (talk) 03:41, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've got a test program available here; I'm not completely sure it'll work, but it's worth a try. Everything's still done manually, and AWB is still required; the only thing different is that the text of all the pages is generated automatically. Ral315 (talk) 03:25, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
