Wilma (Web Interface to List Mail Archives) <URL:http://www.hpc.uh.edu/majordomo/#wilma>; Discovered this on Friday. Is basically a Perl interface to a Glimpse search of MHonArc converted mailing lists. Both Glimpse and MHonArc are in the ports collection. The only gotcha is that it has no provision for running a search across multiple mailing lists simultaneously. For that you need to write some code. Oh, and the HTML for the search interface is embedded in the code, rather than being in a template somewhere. I'm going to try and decouple the interface from the code over the next couple of weeks anyway, although right now the DocBook DTD migration for the Handbook (and freebsd-maintainers tasks) take most of my available FreeBSD time at the moment.
