RE: [swinog] Reading list as RSS feed
hi ruedi What do you think of reading this mailing list as RSS feed? Good/bad idea? bad. how do you answer to posts? ,-) for me RSS is not a solution for participating in a mailinglist. if you want to have read only access, it may be an alternative... so you still need the mails ;-) I personally would very much favour this approach for the following reasons: - My inbox remains emptier/smaller ironic yes, you're right, we've got about 654'465'108 mails a year on this mailinglist ;-) makes sense ,-) /ironic - No problems with auto replys which flood the whole list well, as i said: mail will remain, so auto reply's will remain ... - Only headers get downloaded automatically. This saves bandwidth. i dont know, but i think bandwidth is not really a problem with that mailinglist, right? we're not (yet) at nanog's size ,) So, dear administrator, why not give it a try? Google, for example, recommends this software on the server side: http://jmason.org/software/scripts/mailman-archive-to-rss.txt i think you're gladly invited to provide an RSS feed for those people which cannot live without it ;-) cheers -steven ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

No replace, but there are forums which can act as a gateway to mailing-lists, like Phorum using Phorummail, and yes Phorum can provide an RSS feed. And then there's GMANE of course, which does not only a web-based archive and RSS but also an NNTP gateway, for those wanting to use their nice threading News-Reader with killfiles...

Hi It needs a Flash interface of course, with live XML updates of the articles. SOAP everywhere. You must see other people typing. And it must blink.
