Hi all, (as you all might remember, as the CSL board we promised to annually propose goals and priorities for the CSL project (https://github.com/citation-style-language/governance/blob/master/governance.md), so this is the start of that effort)

We touched on this topic before at http://xbiblio-devel.2463403.n2.nabble.com/call-for-comments-on-base-URI-issue-td6097469.html and https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/issues/2 Unless anybody raises concerns, I think the way to go is to first start hosting the current styles (with unchanged "http://www.zotero.org/styles/*"; style IDs and "self" links) via the citationstyles.org domain with their proper CSL style MIME type (https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.citationstyles.style+xml). Once that is up and running we can hammer out the details on how to change the "http://www.zotero.org/styles/*"; URL scheme to something like "http://styles.citationstyles.org/*"; or "http://repository.citationstyles.org/*"; (while keeping these URLs dereferenceable), and decide what to do about style IDs (my preference would be to keep style IDs and "self" links in sync, like they are now). > 2.

Fortunately, SourceForge offers mbox downloads (http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Mailing%20List%20Archives/). We could either try our luck with another Mailman hosting service (http://wiki.list.org/COM/Mailman%20hosting%20services, although I had a hard time determining which ones are reputable/reliable), or try a different platform like Discourse (with benefits like editing of existing posts and syntax highlighting). It's relatively easy to set up an instance of Discourse (http://blog.discourse.org/2014/04/install-discourse-in-under-30-minutes/), or we could purchase hosting for $200 per year (https://www.discoursehosting.com/). It doesn't look like it's possible to directly import a Mailman archive into Discourse, though (https://meta.discourse.org/t/import-mailman-archives-into-discourse/18537), and I'm not sure Discourse can import mbox files. I also couldn't find good information on the export options in case we'd later want to migrate away from Discourse.
