The new mod_mbox looks really great. No cores so far, and a big
interface improvement.
A few comments:
1. Do we really want people "subscribing" to mailing lists using atom
over http? This would consume way more resources than a standard
mailing list subscription (due to the polling nature of atom). I don't
have any evidence, but this worrys me.
2. There are several formats for each mail message (regular, raw, mime).
Probably the links to everything other than the standard format should
use the rel="nofollow" modifier to keep the search engines out. Keeping
the robots off of 2/3 of the links could make a big difference in load
considering the number of pages on this site.
3. We should probably turn on the email-address-obfiscation feature. I
personally would prefer if everyone could just use proper spam
filtering, but I think the general expectation nowadays is that we try
to avoid displaying raw addresses.
4. The non-ajax form of the site could probably use a little more
attention. It is usuable, but a little "dirty" in places (overlapping
boxes, too-big fonts, etc).
