Hi all, I've been playing with setting up my own mail archive of the
freebsd discussion lists! 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.

TIA,
