Good news! At long last I've got the process of putting the mailing list archives back online. The xemacs-beta archive for 2006 is now complete (ie, January-August and October-current, September was a total loss). I should have this going back to 2003 or so in a couple of days, and will be starting on others. The spam that infested the archives will be gone, I hope. Please notify me <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; or xemacs-services(a)xemacs.org if you notice breakage in the archives, either remaining "spam" (including vacation notices, virus blowback, and the like), or broken threads that may be due to overaggressive spam filtering of the archives. In the interest of getting *something* online, I'm using the builtin pipermail archiver that Mailman supplies. It's not great, but it works. Caveats: the URLs generated are just sequence numbers. This means that any changes to the archive will change them. I've been discussing with the Mailman developers about some way to create true URNs (probably based on the message-id), so don't depend on the URLs being constant. We don't have a search facility in place yet. The "wilma" engine that we used before was a PITA to keep running; besides that (which is an option), I'm looking at Xapian and Namazu. Hopefully Google will pick our archives up pretty quickly though, so you'll at least have "site:calypso.tux.org" to fall back on. Still working on resurrecting lists.xemacs.org and list-archive.xemacs.org, but we need to be careful about that as Mailman is a little tricky to configure in a virtual domain.
