Re: maling list archives and bug tracker dumps for academic research evaluation

I have question regarding the Tomcat-dev mailing list. I was
looking at the archives of tomcat-dev mailing list and found that
whenever a new bug is logged on bugzilla bug tracker or a commit
has been done on SVN, an email is sent to the tomcat-dev mailing
list ( please correct me here if i am wrong ). I would like to
know, if the tomcat developers discuss the development issues also
on this mailing list or if tomcat has any other mailing list or
discussion forum for developers for that?


According to me
- discussion a commit: not very common. usually done with another commit.
- discussion a bug is generally done on the bugtracker.


Regarding the archives of mailing list, it would be very easier to
parse the archives, if i get the monthly archives in .mbox format.
The reason is, i have a parser which parses email of type .mbox
extension. The archives hosted at Apache looks like they have
monthly archives stored in .mbox format e.g.
[http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-dev/200804.mbox/browser]


First of all, extension does not indicate reliably the format of a file.
Parsing mbox file is easyly done in common programming language.


 NOTE: I am not familiar much with the differences of other
archives extension


Whatever format you face, you will always find a parser.

I just wanted to confirm the mailing list where tomcat developers
discuss


tomcat-dev is the right place.
Saying that, I would like to point you a way of discussing through
mailing lists:
http://www.google.com/search?q=mailing+list+posting+etiquette
You will find some inspiration for efficiency when discussing.

I can summarize with:
- dont full quote the original message you reply to
- dont top post
- use plain text only


Regarding the mailing archives format: Tomcat mailing lists are
hosted in different format so why not go for an available format
and parser instead of finding a new parser or writing a new one.


Yes, why not. I just wanted to indicate you parsing is not so hard. :-)
