Hi, just a quick warmup of some same old soup again: We have an official mailing list (powered by a lame son) hosted on pyjs.org, but we still link out to the archive on Google Groups from the pyjs.org website: It's the so-called "Legacy Mailing List" in the Useful Links section on the website's right hand side. This is mainly done,to my knowledge, because it's easier to search and navigate the mailing list archive.
1.) Interestingly, I have seen that Google finds the Lamson archive, the content is raw, though. Not very user-friendly. But actually, we could easily redirect (non-spider) requests to the Mail App this way: (e.g.) https://pyjs.org/pyjs.org/pyjamaslamson/librelist/app/data/archive/pyjamasdev/2010/10/22/queue/new/1287746463.M670011P28030Q38.c72b7a89e004c2583c1de5d0ab14584e -> could redirect to: http://lists.pyjs.org/mail/#pyjamasdev:2010:10:22 To allow navigation directly to that message ("deep link") we'll probably (*wild guess*) have to append the message id to the Mail App URL / history token, too. The redirection must of course make sure that the web crawlers will still index the plain text or so. 2.) The pyjamasdev mailing list traffic can also be read on Mail-Archive (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html) and Gmane (http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.pyjamas.devel). Shouldn't we better link to one of those a finally cut off the link to the paralysed Google Groups archive? 3.) Suppose you go to the Mail App and hack the URL, removing the trailing "/mail/": The remaining http://lists.pyjs.org/ shows an Error404 (still in Djando debug mode). It would be nice to see a Lamson welcome or summary page here instead. Alternatively, this URL could permanently redirect to the Mail App (http://lists.pyjs.org/mail/). Any comments on those three ideas? Cheers, Peter
