I was able to convert and upload the OSList archive file - it was
quite easy with the conversion script. Then DreamHost installed it.
You can see how the archives will look after conversion from ListServ
to Mailman at this link.
http://lists.osius.org/pipermail/oslist-test-osius.org/
Any thoughts about how the conversion looks would be appreciated.
Michael - once I have the archive files - I should be able to convert
it pretty easily. We'd also need the current registration list - but I
think we could do the cutover in a few hours.
Happy Christmas everyone!

oh, okay, harold. that's fine. i thought your previous message
said listserv to listserv was still the better option. i'm all for
dumping it and going open source. as an ordinary participant in
this world, simply posting the 150 monthly logs with and
index/search page would be enough. so it seems the best way to go is
the mailman route. now i also remember seeing (and trading some
emails with) a guy named anthony thompson, who's posted steps for
convernting listserv to mailman. he might be a resource for you to
tap. he was very willing to help and i don't recall there was any
huge cost associated with that help.
as for getting the log files, the total package is 277MB (as of this
morning) and 75MB if it's all zipped. logs go back monthly to 1999.
it'll have to come by pony express on a CD. right now, i have only
the one month's file, link posted in my earlier message. can you do
what you need to with that one, for testing? or with several copies
of it? if i get bsu to send a dump of the thing now, i suppose i
could get them to send the rest later. can you do this migration in
batches like that? anyway, tell me what you think works best and
i'll do it.
