Does the proposed forum have a way to import all the existing archive
and the past messages?

Yeap that is very very  nice, but I hope that they can do it sometime!
For now the forum is on still on the air.

The best alternative is to mirror traffic to this mailing list to a news
server.  This is done with all of the jakarta.apache.org mailing lists.
It allows anyone to read the same mailing list with any NNTP news
reader.

I think this is the best answer for two reasons:

1) It allows flexability in viewing either a mailing list or any NNTP
newsreader.  There are TONS of these including Mozilla, and IE.  To see
a sample of this interface point your browser at news://news.gmane.org
and try subscribing to "gmane.comp.jakarta.tomcat.user".  This gets the
exact same traffic as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

2) More importantly, all discussion stays in one place.  Keeping up to
date is easier.  No duplication of effort.


What remains is to have someone from apache grant this mailing list this
functionality.  Is there anyone out there from apache who can comment?
