Although we archive all of our emails (going back over 8 years for the ArgoUML project), they've been very difficult to access due to the weak Collabnet search facility and the fact that they refuse to let Google and the other search engines crawl the archives. We subscribed mail-archive.com to the lists to work around this, but this was stymied by Tigris' use of the x-noarchive flag on email reflector up until May 2006, preventing that archive from getting any of the earlier messages. http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/maillist.html
Finally a solution is at hand! MarkMail now has *all* of the list archives for all Tigris projects going back to their beginning. For anyone who hasn't used MarkMail, it can not only do the basics like order search results by date (which Collabnet could never figure out how to implement), but it's got a whole array of other powerful search facilities and some fun little graphs too. This should make the collective knowledge of the ages much easier to access. There are aggregators for the ArgoUML lists and all of the Tigris lists (ArgoEclipse doesn't have enough traffic yet to justify its own aggregator), but you can also focus your search on individual lists. If you want to access the ArgoEclipse lists or lists associated with ArgoUML modules or associated projects, use the Tigris aggregator. Of course MarkMail also hosts a bunch of other mail archives as well, including everything from all the Apache projects to Mozilla's Firefox and Thunderbird to the W3C (going back to 1994!), so we're in good company.
