It seems like the best option is for the list maintainer (I don't know who that is) to check to see if the archives are still being *made*, but perhaps the indexer has stopped working. If that's the case, then the problem with the current mailman archive would be solved by simply re-indexing. It might even be something simpler like the web server not aiming /pipermail to the right place.
If the maintainer says the archives are actually gone, then it seems like there's a clear workflow for importing an mbox file into mailman archive. So, that might be relatively easy for me to do. However, I just checked and although I have messages from as far back and 2008, I'm missing *all* of 2011 for some reason. I may have lost it when I switched from SparkleShare to MEGA. I could also just place what I have now on IPFS or seed a torrent file or somesuch. I probably should just delete it given the number of times I've embarrassed myself on the list. 8^) On 11/6/18 7:11 AM, Gary Schiltz wrote: > If (ok, big IF) someone were to volunteer to put out the effort to try to > restore previous messages to an archive accessible to everyone on the list, > and to ensure that future messages automatically ended up there, what would > be the group consensus on what platform would be best?

It would be a real shame to lose it. -- ∄ uǝʃƃ ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove
