<snip> I think the MarkMail archive is sufficient. But if you or anyone else wants to make another mailing list archive over here at Apache, then you are welcome to do so. But my personal interest is in creating a thriving community and an excellent product here at Apache. I have zero interest in maintaining a "Museum of OpenOffice". So preserving 11 years of mailing list archives is not high on my list of priorities. My energy is dedicated to other tasks. But I have no objections if anyone else wants to pursue this.
