They did run out of disk space just yesterday.  It's cleaned up now.  
We can pass the message on if you email Chicago-Tech, or you can email 
IMC-Tech@lists.indymedia.org for potentially quicker response.  Of 
course, IMC-Tech is a global lists, and you should phrase your message 
accordingly -- there's way to many "Your webpage is broken" emails to 
IMC-Tech, which are ignored since no one knows which webpage they are 
talking about.  But if you have a disk space issue, saying "A disk is 
full on Stallman" is enough and will help alert people to the problem.

I offered to write a script to notify them when disks get too full, but 
no one seemed to care... which is the same problem of no one being 
personally responsible for anything on Stallman, just some people fix 
things when it gets too bad.  Or maybe the right metaphor is that no 
one currently feels a sense of ownership with respect to Stallman.  
It's a global resource, which means it's nobody's resource.  Ironic.
