Message 1: The LINGUIST List 2004, New and Improved!

Date: 29 Apr 2004 03:14:03 -0000
From: linguist <linguist at linguistlist.org>
Subject: The LINGUIST List 2004, New and Improved!


Dear Linguists,

In the past year, we have achieved significant progress in hardware
upgrading to support the running of the LINGUIST List website. A new
machine, Sun Fire server from Sun Microsystems, replaced our old
server (saussure.linguistlist.org). Over the past three years, the
Saussure server ran our Oracle database (with 179 tables and hundreds
of thousands of records) and our ColdFusion server software--the
software that interacts with the database and performs all complex
database calling tasks. As the Linguist site attracted more and more
web visitors and new mailing list subscribers, the old server became
overloaded during peak usage hours. You may have experienced waiting
for a page to load during peak traffic time and ended up with a
'timeout' error. To keep up with the growing intrest in and usage of
our site, we had to upgrade our server, and, consequently, we had to
transfer all of the information from Saussure to the new machine.

This server move was a very big move for us because it was not just a
matter of copying files. The system migration involved complex setup
and tuning, as well as upgrading our web application software
ColdFusion to its newest version. Because of careful planning and
testing, the Linguist site operated without much service disruption.
We finished the server move at the end of last year, and now the new
server that starts with 'cf.linguistlist.org' provides most of the
major services that the LINGUIST website offers. We appreciate your
patience and support during the transition period!

Immediately after the server move, we worked on Oracle 8i database
tuning. Helped by our professional DBA consultant Rongqiu Shen, we
reorganized the internal structure of database, optimized the database
server parameters, and improved the database backup schedule. Tuning
makes database queries from web pages even faster and more efficient.
Some of the web pages on the Linguist site are rely heavily on
database queries, like search functions, language family trees,
etc. For example, just after you click the "submit" button in our
language search page, several hundred language nodes displayed within
several seconds, and the database query is completed almost
instantly. This database tuning has greatly improved our services.

Year after year, we work hard to make the Linguist site serve the
linguistics community better, in whatever way we can. Often this means
that we need to update our hardware or software. But, we need your
support in order to make these improvements. Everything we have
achieved is possible only because of your support. Without your
donations, there would be no improvement, and in short, no LINGUIST!

Thank you for your support!

Message 2: LINGUIST List to cut services...
Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2004 14:28:19 -0400 (EDT)
From: Marisa Ferrara <marisa at linguistlist.org>
Subject: LINGUIST List to cut services...

Dear Subscribers,

As many of you already know, we are unfortunately not even close to
our Fund Drive goal of $60,000.  In fact, we are still well over
$23,000 off of our target with less than a week left of our Fund
Drive!

Therefore, we were wondering if all of our subscribers who have not
yet donated would take the time to fill out this very important
questionnaire regarding which LINGUIST List service they would most
like to see cut.

We understand that this does seem to be a drastic measure, but since
we absolutely can not continue our current level of services, nor
continue to add features and improve our site without the extra
$23,000, we would like your input on which features you do not find
quite as important to the advancement of your career and the
profession as a whole.

Please select 3 from the following list and we will be sure to
discontinue them at the end of Fund Drive if you do not donate and we
fail to reach our target.


SERVICES LINGUIST PROVIDES:

-Posting job announcements

-Archiving a searchable database of all current job announcements
 classified by linguistic subfield/language

-Posting calls for conference papers

-Posting conference announcements

-Archiving a searchable database of all current calls and conferences
 classified by linguistic subfield/language

-Posting queries that help linguists conduct research

-Posting summaries of answers from those queries so that the
 discipline can benefit from the answers

-Posting discussions regarding various controversial topics that help
 foster linguistic opinion and discussion

-Posting FYI, Media, and Software announcements that help keep
 linguists around the world abreast of the latest news in the discipline

-Maintenance of Noticeboard, a classifieds-style listing specific to
 the needs of the linguistics community

-Posting book and journal table of contents announcements of the
 majority of linguistic publications

-Posting the dissertations of new linguists around the world

-Archiving dissertation abstracts and academic papers classified according
 to linguistic subfield and language

-Keeping a large database on linguists around the world, including
 their specialties and institutions

-Support for and creation of the E-MELD project and School of Best
 Practice, a website that helps linguists learn to document and archive
 endangered languages to prevent data loss (http://www.emeld.org/school)

-Maintenance of the most complete listing of languages in the world

-Maintenance of a fully classified database that allows the entire
 LINGUIST List site searchable according to linguistic subfield and
 subject language

-Support and training of 24 graduate students in linguistics, computer
 programming, language digitization, and organizational management (the
 majority of whom go on to further their studies in Ph.D programs).

We would like to thank all 629 subscribers who have already donated,
and add that they do not have to take part in this questionnaire if
they do not wish to -- they have already done more than their share to
help support the discipline.

For the remaining 18,371 subscribers who have not even been able to
find $5.00 to help the cause, we would like to at least know which of
our services you feel can be cut.  Please address all questionnaires
to linguist at linguistlist.org with "I CAN DO WITHOUT LINGUIST LIST" in
the subject line, and include 3 of the above services.

Don't see any that you'd like to do without?  Well then please donate
to the LINGUIST List and help us continue to support you and your
career.

Thank you,

The LINGUIST List

Max Io, the Phatal Phonologist

Optimality Theorist Max Io's constraint requiring faithfulness to his
own pulse was fatally violated Tuesday when his *Life constraint
unexpectedly outranked it. His family were aligned to his left edge
while doctors battled to maintain the strict domination of *Life by
Ident-IO(Pulse) - ultimately in vain.

A celebration of this wellformed candidate is expected next week.
Denying rumors of a conspiracy, his wife insisted he was always a
sympathetic candidate. She is expected to place a single simple flower
next to his tableau at the ceremony. Max Io leaves behind a rich base
for his children, Gen and Con.

LINGUIST Awarded Funding for Life

The LINGUIST List, the world's largest online linguistic resource, was
today awarded all necessary funds forever by the International
Foundation for Linguistic Sciences. A spokesperson from the IFLS said
that this award had been made "in recognition of the enduring
contribution to the discipline" that this small team of graduate
students and professors had made over the past fifteen years.

Staff at The LINGUIST List were ecstatic at the news. Fighting back
tears of joy, Listserv Administrator Michael Appleby said: "despite
the incredibly generous donations made by subscribers, host
universities, publishers and other institutions every year, running
LINGUIST has always been a financial strain. I'd like to thank the
IFLS, all those who voted for us, the Academy and me mam."

Scottish Scientists Create World's First Genetically Modified Language
Tree!

Scientists at the Mags Plink Institute, Scotland have successfully
bred the world's first genetically modified language tree. The mutant
structure, which was formed by merging several branches of
Indo-European with Malayo-Polynesian, several Afroasiatic languages
and a variant of Scottish Gaelic spoken only by a single elderly
couple in the remote Scottish highland village of Auchtermuchty, was
described by linguists as "a monstrosity".

"This is such a tragic waste of time and resources when there are so
many more worthy causes out there," commented one very well respected
and obviously intelligent professor. "Take The LINGUIST List for
example: now there's something to which linguists ought to
contribute."

Will Fund Drive Ever End?

Already in its sixth week and with barely half of the target reached,
this year's LINGUIST List Fund Drive looks like being the longest on
record. But despite the slow start crewmembers remained confident in
the generosity of the linguistic community they serve.

"You only have to look at the number of messages we post and the hits
we get to see what a vital role The LINGUIST List plays in
linguistics," commented one crewmember.

"And best of all, the whole organization is not-for-profit, meaning
that each person in the linguistics community can give what they can
afford, rather than having to pay a flat rate membership fee."

MaLingua would like to remind readers that donations to The LINGUIST
List, however small, are always welcome.

Message 4: How to Donate...
Date: 16 Mar 2004 08:56:08 -0000
From: linguist <linguist at linguistlist.org>
