Hey, I just sent the following email to the CouchDB developer list:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-dev/200907.mbox/<20090722214200.ga11...@tumbolia.org> Preparing these emails is such a chore, I thought I'd post some comments here: * The URIs are really horrible. Is there any way of shortening them? Perhaps a shorter MID based URI would help, like: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mid/20090722214200.ga11...@tumbolia.org That would make things much more managable via email. * With the following list: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-dev/200907.mbox/browser If you click to open in a new tab, you get this: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-dev/200907.mbox/ajax/<921000906301118y3bb11937hf6c0cd433387e...@mail.gmail.com> Which is just awful, really. * As I am forced to not use this feature of my UA, if I just click a link in the normal way, I am taken to some two-pane display. I would provide a link here, but I can't because of the way "Ajax" has been used. A bigger concern is that if I press my browsers back button, I am taken back to front page of the list, which is totally broken. I know there's a "click here to get a permalink" hack, but that's not very useful as I'm trying to browse around and my back button has been broken. Sorry if I seem like a total arse, I'm just feeling a frustrated! Heh. Is this project being actively maintained? The last news item was from 2005. If the project is dead, maybe the ASF should consider ditching it's use for our mailing lists. It's a royal pain in the arse at the moment. Thanks, -- Noah Slater, http://tumbolia.org/nslater
