To start with, I've been archiving the -questions list for several days, and i was wondering if someone would take a look and tell me what you think? Basically, it lets you "browse" the list, or search it. I'm still working on the searching part a little, trying to get it to produce slightly better output. My thoughts so far: 1) The main browse list will have to be broken up into one,or two week sections. If not, after a few months the file will become redicuously large. 2) I like how I can search for something, go to the result, and be able do navigate up and down in the "thread". This was something I found to be a pain in the ass on freebsd.org archive.. 3) I'm using hypermail to archive, and ht://Dig to search. They seem quite good, but maybe there are better solutions? Feedback would be appreciated.
