Re: Mailing list archives: what next?
Ar an fichiú lá de mí na Nollaig, scríobh Stephen J. Turnbull:
I've now restored XEmacs Beta archives back to January 2004. My
priorities from here are XEmacs Patches archives for 2006 and 2005,
then XEmacs Review for 2006 and 2005, then all of XEmacs CVS logs,
then the miscellaneous archives and past volumes.
I'm hoping things will go faster as the spam filter (yes, a fair
amount of that stuff got into the archives, and now is a great time to
get rid of it) stops throwing false positives.
I'll be working on indexing/search capability as I go along; no ETA
for that yet.
Anyway, those are *my* priorities; if yours differ, now would be a
good time to speak up!
list-archive.xemacs.org had really powerful Googlejuice, to the extent that
a couple of months after it disappeared it’s still in their index, and that
doesn’t really happen for other sides of late. (Cf.
http://www.google.ca/search?q=site:list-archive.xemacs.org .) Having Google
index recent mail with the same importance given to the old XEmacs mail
would disproportionately help getting work done today, IMO, so restoring the
list-archive.xemacs.org address should be done soon. Plus, it makes indexing
and search less of a problem.

find any pitch, so I used creosote.
