That was pretty much my argument for using it. Well, that and if it is still being used for python-dev summaries it must not be too painful for that purpose. > > We had a number of somewhat creaky scripts to extract threads from the mail > archives and do the boilerplate bits of the summaries.

Then from there I can access a thread directly, write a summary on the site, then when finished click go to generate the full summary. Only problem is that we could conceivably get >50 threads between lookups. I like that solution as google groups does a nice job of figuring out threads on its own and making the whole thing web based opens up the possibility of collaboration and eases the inevitable transition to another maintainer.
