Does anybody have any idea how long it will be until there is, at least, a beta version available? I have a lot of spam collecting, that I want dealt with.
If it's going to be a matter of weeks, great! Months, I guess I can wait a little longer. If it won't be until sometime next year, then I may as well unsubscribe from this newsgroup, and check back at some point in the distant future to see if anything has happened.
If nothing more, I just want something to click on that makes me at least think I'm doing something to get rid of the spam, and will handle all of the days messages in one or two clicks.
The time frame will be months, it will take some time to finalize the designs and write the protocol.
Please read previous threads and why you should not be collecting spam now to submit to the project when it is ready, short answer is spam more then a few weeks old is to old to be worth persuing.
more over BS/BF had made such a splash on the net-media pond... that you can be sure to hear from the same media when the first successor will rise...
it might be a good thing to create some database of people who are really only interested in beta testing... thus giving them the peace of mind that they will get a wake up email when the first Okopipi rays are about to shine, no need to be invloved in the bla bla till that moment... (personally I am interested the trip as well as the destination). it can be as simple as a thread where anyone who post "Me too"... but I think a more descrete way is needed, yet not too complacated as to make it a project on its own...
if the group has some mail or maybe the Okopipi domain has one? we can give a link to that private / protected email address, anyone who sends mail to it will be notified when the time comes.
If people only want to be contacted when a beta is released out, they just have to subscribe to Okopipi-Announce, or the SC may create another group only dedicated to proclam the various births of Okopipi ? I feel Google is more protected than a particular domain, but that's only a feeling...

Once again liberty you are posting suggestions that we already have in place, as has already been pointed out the Okopipi-Announce thread is a very low traffic thread for just this reason, we also have a section of the volunteer list on our Wiki for Beta Testers to sign up.
Liberty I hate to be rude, but please spend some time reading back through the threads and the wiki as most your posts have been repeates of earlier discussed topics.
I don't know what you standards of rudeness are but being asked to do some basic research really should be within that realm. It would save a lot of time if you did read the wealth of material we do have available before being to quick to post. I don't think this is an unreasonable request, why do you think it is?

They don't do opt-outs, DDoS or anything like that -- just reporting spam to relevant authorities, working directly with ISPs, etc., and keeping track of sites they have shut down. They also archive data for law enforcement use.
You can sign up for their beta program if you want personalized reports signup isn't necessary and can forward them your junk without being a member.
They're going through some growing pains (and right now many reported emails are bouncing.. so I end up saving the bounces and uploading them via FTP instead) but they are actively working on these issues.
Folks, if there's an occasional message that doesn't add anything to the discussion, please just ignore it. If the level of signal-to-noise starts getting bad, an admin can deal with it off-list.

Thanks. It's still in beta, still a bit buggy. But I am trying it out. It doesn't do much for the source of the problem though. It really just reports the bot systems that have been taken over by the spammers, causing the "innocent" users to get cut off. At least it's something for the moment though.
