Sorry, Judith's sick in bed and I just got into work and online. The list membership for CF-Talk has been down reciently to 1856 members on list. If you add in the NNTP readers, archive readers and all we'd have about double that. This is the reason I want to provide better resources. To get the information to more people through more channels. My goal for the lists are to have them as lists with immediate delivery, digests on the hour on up to once a day. An archive that can be searched and posted from that will include the proper threading (message id and reference id) when a message is posed from them. An NNTP interface so that a post can go from NNTP to the list and the archives in one fell swoop. Finally, a web service interface so that other devices can get the data. This may sound like a lot of work but it's rather easy if done in steps. The staggered digests and the archive are done. Plugging a verity search into that is simple to do and automating parts of it are one of my specialties (I think I use the scheduler more than anyone else around). The posting from the archives to the list is done on the back end and just needs a nice front end for it. I wrote a new CF_MakeTree that's tighter than hell to get the threading done right. NNTP is something that I'm talking to someone about and they can comment on it if they want. Web services is just a quick CFC to the archives with no real front end. Step by step it's being done and will get done.
