[mlmmj] Web archives

[Kai Hendry]

Hi guys,

Are you aware the mlmmj Web archives don't seem to work?
http://mlmmj.org/archive/mlmmj/


On the topic of Web archives, what's the best you've seen? It seems to
be done universally badly.

It's a project idea I've been thinking about a lot.

Kind regards,

Oops! That's my fault. I forgot to follow up the installation of a
periodic job for it. I've done a manual update now. Will try to follow
it up shortly.

There are a couple of options for building Mlmmj archives mentioned in
the Mlmmj documentation/distribution. The Mlmmj site uses one of them.

You could do with some better google juice. Searching for "mlmmj
Mailing List Archives" does not find http://mlmmj.org/archive/mlmmj/

And finding http://mlmmj.org/archive/mlmmj/ via http://mlmmj.org/ is
quite difficult:
1. http://mlmmj.org/ follow support link
2. http://mlmmj.org/support follow mailing list link
3. http://mlmmj.org/lists finally find archive link
4. http://mlmmj.org/archive/ now click mlmmj mailing list
5. Yay http://mlmmj.org/archive/mlmmj/ and no search ... :(

No search, no keyboard navigation, no way to expand them for a search.
It's ok for 2000, not for 2013. :P

Hmmm, yeah, that could be streamlined.... Thanks for the feedback.

Mmm. I have dreams for something better. But it will be some time before
anything is implemented, I'm afraid. There just isn't the manpower to do
things quickly, and there are higher priorities.
