I am hereby proposing that the FreeBSD forum be extended to provide a forum2mail archive function. In short, each post on a certain topic would result in a threaded email of the same subject line being sent to forum-archive@freebsd.org. Attachments appear as attachments. Timestamps are dates. From gecos is users handle, from email is users email, or if not public, just @example.com. The different forum sections could be handled in the subject line, or they could be forum-archive-section@freebsd.org. Only the content the forum user wrote would be gatewayed. Not their signature or other forum meta bits related to their post. If moderation is in place, forum2mail should obviously relay only moderated posts. The forum-archive@freebsd.org list will be read-only, at least initially until such time as a mail2forum gateway is developed. And it will appear in the cvsup/ftp mirroring tree the same way the rest of the mailing lists do. Broken down by month, etc. If a mail2forum gateway is delivered, users may start/reply to forum threads that way. Till then, if they spot something interesting in mail, thay can login to the forum and reply that way. The forum-archive@freebsd.org list can be subscribed to just like any other list. This allows people to keep up with reading and other global mail archivers can subscribe to it. This forum2mail feature is needed for any number of reasons: - Forums are very heavyweight, database driven, beasts. Lots of formatting... forum inclusions such as post stats, titles, etc... user included junk.. taglines, emoticons, etc. The majority of content in the onscreen presentation is noise, not the signal of the message itself. - Various folks prefer email interface for various reasons. - Forums are notorious for not being archived, mirrored and indexed for the greater good. - When forums die, they take their entire font of knowledge with them. - Forum search capabilities are quite often lacking. Users may prefer to use the standard mail search tools to which they are accustomed. - Not every user is on forums similar to not every user is on mail. This simple forum2mail gateway would at least allow the non-forum users to gain a view into it. And provide a standardized mechanism for the rest of the world to see it too. Thank you for your consideration and discussion of this proposal.
