[LV] Mailing list archives

[Maciej W. Rozycki]

Hello folks,

 A mailing list without an archive is less than useful.  As some of you 
may have noticed such is our mailing list.  The archive page at 
http://mail.pergamentum.com/pipermail/linux-vax/ (referred to from the 
list home page at http://mail.pergamentum.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-vax) 
is broken.

 I notified the list admin back in May, got an ack, pinged him once or 
twice again, got no further response and the archive is still broken.  As 
it is I believe the list can be treated as abandoned and I think it would 
be reasonable to move the list to a place that is attended at least a 
little bit.  And with a working archive, of course. :)

 I have one possibility in mind, that is the linux-mips.org site -- I 
think I should ba able to arrange hosting there and we do have a decent 
archive (and spam filters) there.  Another possibility could be kernel.org 
(Jan-Benedict, what do you think?), though they only seem to rely on 
external archives and the admins can be harsh at times. ;)

 While doing this I think we should gather all the archives in one place 
-- the old ones at montana.edu are still in place and hopefully the site 
admin will send us a copy in a reasonable format.  The missing ones from 
pergamentum.com I could recreate from my personal e-mail archive; I hope 
no message has been dropped as I had occasional delivery problems.

 Comments?

  Maciej
