Hey, I'm one of the people who applied for this SoC project :-)

- I belong to a MUG (Macintosh User Group) and every time we wanted to create a web page it failed, mainly because the power of the user group was in the mailing list. So, the ideal website would've been a web based email archive, that could sort the emails in different categories based on some pattern in the subject, for example, all emails whose subject matches the r.e. '\[AAA\].*' should fit the category named 'AAA'. Of course, the mailing manager can create different categories, and a default category, where all emails whose subject doesn't match any, will be put.
Good idea, but do you really think that this works in practice? I estimate that more than a half of the mails will be put into the default categorie, because the people who don't use the web-interface won't think about that categories. Or don't I get it?
But generally I think the idea of some filter is extendable. Paul Querna wrote:
* Interface. This is a SoC project. We need some thoughts on if we want to use some kind of Theme system (eg, ClearSilver or XSLT) or stick with hard coded HTML. I think a massive addition of CSS is a given, but the details are still up in the air.
XSLT is a good solution, because we need no additional module, it is a widely-used standard and simple to use. But what will we do with the people who haven't a XML-ready browser in combination with a server which hasn't a XML parser?
Btw: I'm trying to compile lucene (GCJ version) for mod_mbox but he misses the <org/apache/lucene/document/Field.h> file. Can somebody tell me where I can get this file or which package I forgot?
