2) Is there a way to search this mailing list past 2004?
I don't know of an easy way but you could download all the monthly
summaries, unzip them, then grep for strings...

This would work but it is somewhat high maintenance. I host my lists
on sf.net and there you get an automatic searcheable archive. Couldn't
you mirror your list at sf.net? Say, every message sent to
[email protected] would be posted at sf.net as well, so from 2008
on one would have a searchable archive. This mailing list archive is
PDL's "knowledge base", so it is important to have it easily
accessible.

Improved documentation and better access to resources are things I would like to see as well. There are issues with mailing lists and e-mail spam address collectors but a wiki has just been started that could grow into a more accessible
"knowledge base" for the PDL community.


Frossie set up a search capability for the more recent email lists last week. Today I added a small interface to this to the PDL webpage. Once the mirror goes in a few hours, you should be able to search the mailing lists from http://pdl.perl.org/maillists/ .

cheers,
Derek
