The problem is that forrest-dev was used for *all* dev *&* user mailing list traffic, so a search in the 'current' mailing lists' archives does not include content in forrest-dev (that's a separate search).
Which archives are you looking at?
First let me say, that I have not mentioned this to the Forrest people nor do I speak for them. I just want to ensure that a problem doesn't occur.
If you look on Forrest's Mailing List page[1], you'll see three Mailing Lists:
- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The user@ list has an Eyebrowse link and the dev@ list has Eyebrowse *&* MARC links.
I was looking at [EMAIL PROTECTED], which only goes back to May 2004.
The eyebrowse archives include the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and go back to November 2002.
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/BrowseList? [EMAIL PROTECTED]&by=date&from=2002-05-01&to=2002-05 -31&first=1&count=636
True, however [EMAIL PROTECTED] was the only list between May 2002 & May 2004, and was used for 'user@' as well as 'dev@' questions. Hence, a search on user@ lists (where a user would expect to find answers) won't return any 'hits' before May 2004. In order to search pre-May 2004 'user' archives, one must search the [EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists.
Perhaps it makes sense to include the forrest-dev posts in the 'index' for [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
NOTE: I'm not asking for this (I don't think it's my place to do so). I'm just using this as an example of something I want to be careful of WRT setting up xmlgraphics Mailing Lists & Archives.
For Eyebrowse, when moving a list name, we generally set up a new archive under the new list name and index all the old messages into the new archive.
Cheers, Berin
BTW, I hadn't noticed that the dev@ list actually includes all posts back to 2002 (thanks for pointing that out!), as I'd been under the impression one still had to use MARC[4] for that old content. The first place I was searching was user@ Eyebrowse, and the content isn't there, so I'd switch to MARC for older stuff.
BTW, the MARC link was down when I checked (it's back up now--must've been a glitch).
In any case, my goal is to ensure that when someone searches the fop-user archives, they get all the USER content. When someone searches fop-dev, they get all the DEV content.
