Thanks for your offer.. But, is that the right thing to do - like will it
make the clug archive publically searchable ?

OK, let's rephrase that ... "everything to the wiki, where 'everything' excludes any email-related content".


I won't make any suggestions to do with the mailing list. I don't want it to move from where it is :-) and I don't really want to maintain archives of it. I don't believe that the Uni provides any web-accessible archives, and if the other archive providers go off-line, I guess we're stuck.

If *I* try to fix this by running an archive, or even $deity-forbid the list itself, the CLUG will be over-dependant on me, and I don't want that :-)

If the clug webpage is pointed to the wiki, can a non clug member search
our archives ?

Yes, because the Mailing List FAQ should say where the archives are - as far as I'm aware, they're separate from the *.lug.net.nz addresses anyway. Anything at ethernal.org will be unaffected by moving *.lug.net.nz. I'll grab the old content from *.lug, and either copy it as a static copy underneath the wiki, or refactor the content onto the wiki (assuming that it has at least an implied content license that would permit that).
