There are references to marc and mail-archive on the main apache mailing list page here: http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html and also on the Jakarta mailing list page (linked from the commons nav) here: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html#archives.
I did send request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but got an empty FAQ back :-) If there is anything I can do, I would happy to volunteer myself.
If you want to suggest contents for commons-dev-faq, we should be able to get that content added (maybe someone with more ezmlm-foo than me can give a clue on how to do this). If you mean improving the commons / jakarta documentation, help in that area is always welcome :-) The commons web pages are generated using maven 1, from xdoc sources in http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper/commons-build/trunk/xdocs/ The Jakarta site is also generated from xdocs, but using Ant, with sources here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/site/ If you want to patch the docs and have problems getting started or with the mechanics of submitting patches, please feel free to ask for help here. Patches for the commons site should be added to Jira tickets here http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMMONSSITE Patches for the Jakarta site should just be attached to mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with [site][patch] in the subject line. If you mean restoring an apache-hosted mail archive search capability, the best thing to do is probably to jump into the mod_mbox work that Simon referred to above, but there is no guarantee that even if that were released, the apache infrastructure team would sign up to maintain it for ASF lists. We used to host eyebrowse and had to decommission it due to chronic problems. Maybe one of the more infra-active peeps can chime in on this. The place to get involved in mod_mbox is http://httpd.apache.org/mod_mbox/ Thanks for the feedback!
