It might be a good time for someone to volunteer to take over list maintenance? RedFish&Co (in the persons of Guerin and Densmore) take on a *lot* of hidden responsibilities to this community.
I don't know who here might feel willing/able to pick up the responsibility for managing the lists (and Archives, and Indices of Archives, and ???) but it sounds like Glen can help re-seed the archives with *most of* 2008-present sans 2011? I think my own easily accessible archives go back only to 2011 so I might be able to provide some or all of 2011... not sure... and I HAVE been occasionally lazy about what I delete (usually *only* that which is clearly spam/junk) so even FriAM Archives might be spotty in my case. - Steve On 11/6/18 9:34 AM, ∄ uǝʃƃ wrote: > 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.
