Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: witango-talk archive

First, let me say I'm grateful for all the help I've gotten from this 
list (most of it from lurking).  I save most postings that I think I'll 
need, so I can search locally.

And I'm glad that there is an archive out there, and appreciate someone 
volunteering to provide a service.  So from a community perspective, I 
can swivel around to my windows box for this.

But from a marketing perspective, I see this as a net negative, because 
one of the first things a prospective developer will look at (at least I

would) is the list archive -- to see how active, what kinds of bugs are 
being reported, etc.

So I would hope that a "first class" discussion list would become a 
priority.  BTW, my other favorite tool, Swish-E, has a fine, very 
workable, searchable, sortable, discussion list archive that
demonstrates 
its capabilities as an indexing tool:

thx
