freecode-submit is dead – because freecode.com is
<p>Well, <em>that&#8217;s</em> annoying. The freecode.com release-announcement site stopped accepting updates yesterday. The site says it shut down due to low traffic.</p>
<p>Accordingly, I&#8217;ve issued a final archival version of freecode-submit and shipped a version of <a href="http://www.catb.org/esr/shipper/">shipper</a> that no longer tries to do freecode notifications, issuing a complaint instead.</p>
<p>Had to revise the <a href="http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html">How to Become a Hacker</a>, too. I used to advise newbs to watch that site for projects they might want to join. Can&#8217;t do that any more.</p>
<p>With this site gone, where can people go for a cross-sectional view of what open source is doing? Bummer&#8230;.</p>
