Within then next week I hope to have a fairly complete dataset of date, subject, and name of who posted for close to all the messages ever posted to flexcoders. I might also do a second pass to get full text of each message too. I say "close to all" because I'm scraping the mail archive website and that only shows 95,000 message, but in reality I think there are more like 116,000. Plus some of the messages from 2004 seems to have gotten a bit jacked on the mail archive site and don't show up with the proper subjects and senders (there's a block of a few hundred).
But once I get that I'm going to post a sqlite DB file that has it all that you can load into an air app to play with. I'll let y'all know when you can start playing with the data.
