Here's a Reddit post:

This is the second consecutive time a planned downtime is not announced on either mailing lists.

Sorry, it never occurred to me to post there.  Don appears to be the only one on the entire haskell infrastructure team or haskell.org committee that thought to post it _anywhere_.  IMO, we should thank him for that much and ask for haskell/haskell-cafe list reminders in the future.  Lots of people could have done this not just Don.
 

This seems to me planned obsoletion of the mailing lists.

Was the planned obsoletion of the mailing lists also announced on reddit?

Not that I know of, but it was announced on Haskell-Cafe according to the link you posted :)
 

Personally I refuse to use reddit and many web 2.0 things for both pragmatic (usability) and ideological reasons.

The most important pragmatic reason for me is retarded or no attempt at mark-as-read and show-all-and-only-those-unread.

For now, if a web 2.0 source I care enough about provides RSS, I make do with adding it to Google Reader, which provides mark-as-read and show-all-and-only-those-unread as perfectly as long-existing email programs.

In that case, here you go:
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/216043045.rss
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/17788765.rss

You can get those by finding them on twitter and then clicking the RSS link.

That way you can use Google Reader and you don't have to have a twitter account or visit reddit.

I hope that helps,
Jason
