Hi everyone. I've been working with Liz Neely, Vicki Portway, and Eric Longo on a change to MCN-L that would result in
* a more searchable (i.e., comprehensively-indexed) archive of messages * an easy way to generate RSS feeds of new messages. The proposal is that we'd add MCN-L, and any archives that we can, to mail-archive.com. That site would keep a permanent record of all messages, indexing them for searching, and provide an RSS feed of new posts. While there are other ways to achieve these goals, mail-archive.com is a single stable, no-cost, and maintenance-free method that provides both. Nothing about how you use the list will need to change as a result of this. The only noticeable difference will be that the post archive is fully-indexed, so it will be easier to find past discussions as a way of investigating topics. If there are any questions, comments, or concerns, please reply to the list! Should this update meet with community approval, I hope to begin the switchover around midnight on October 31st, as a way of tempting fate. Thanks, Matt
