Today I was at MAX India in Bangalore, and one of the things I noticed
was, not only did people have a hard time finding technical
information about Flex, some of them also had no clue about
Flexcoders.

Anyway, let's fix some of it. I want to make the list archives
searchable in the true sense (like Google, like Yahoo, like MSN, ...
not like Yahoo Groups). There's a couple of things we need to do:

1. Subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the list. I've already
asked for a subscription, but the process can be faster if the admin
of this list directly subscribes that email address. More information
on http://www.mail-archive.com/

2. The previous one only takes care of new mail. We also want the
old mail (ever since the first message) to be searchable. The first
step in doing that is to get the archives. I'm not sure if Yahoo
provides these, but I know how to get them otherwise. What I need: if
someone can afford it, please volunteer some web hosting space for
hosting the archives. If you can run Perl directly on the same
server, that's even better. I'm expecting we'll have at least 100 MB
of text to host (split into say 100 files). There were 11,418
messages the last time I checked.

3. Once we have the archives hosted somewhere, we'll simply link to
them from our blogs/websites and the search engines will pick them up.
Joy!

So email me off list if you have web space and can afford to host.
