Hi all, A week ago PieterB told me that there might be an interest in a replacement archiver for pipermail that we created during a software engineering course. That is why i put together a small demo and a homepage for the SMART Archiver project.
I have set up a demo by importing the last 3 months of (publicly available) mailman-developers archives into it. The site archive password (which allows anyone to login as an administrator and can not be changed using the web interface) is 'demo'. Note that this demo allows anyone to become administrator, so that anyone can see the admin interface and play with it but if anyone abuses this right i will remove the admin functions from the demo. The demo can be found at: http://gewis.nl/~gijs/cgi-bin/private And the homepage at: http://smartarchiver.sourceforge.net Features of the SMART Archiver: Features: * Gives a threaded overview of messages in a given time period. * Allows users to sort the archive by subject, date, thread, sender and attachment types. * Allows users to search the archive over the web. * Understands MIME attachments and allows searching in plain-text attachments. * Allows administrators to add, remove and edit both messages and attachments. * Integrates with mailman. * Allows users to download all messages in a specific overview in mbox format. * Can import messages from mbox format. * Can automaticly remove messages from the archive after a certain amount of time. Currently there are some known issues with the archiver, which should be worked out in the near future: * Webinterface does not support multiple pages (if you have an overview of a few months there could be a few thousand messages on your screen) * Currently requires the PostgreSQL database, there should also be support for MySQL and some simpler format that can be used without a 3rd party database. * The installer is very poor. Let me know what you all think, currently I am the only active developer on the project if anyone is interested in joining the project please let me know. -- Gijs Hollestelle [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
