THE SITUATION

This Mailing List hasn't had a good archive for a while:

--Escribe stopped listing messages in the middle of last year
--REBOL.net exposes only the last month or so

Graham Chiu took the initiative, and a great big step to rectifying that, 
when he announced, a few weeks ago, the availability of the archive back to 2000 
on his site:
http://203.79.110.37/rebolml/

But unfortunately, Graham's website does not have the bandwidth to allow 
search engine spiders to index the archive, so the messages would remain invisible 
to Google and others. REBOL is already too much of a well-kept secret!


THE ANNOUNCEMENT
Graham's generously given us his archive, we've nicked his design, and picked 
over his brain with endless questions ("How did we get messages from the year 
2024!?") and generally been very patient and helpful while we've transferred 
the archive to REBOL.org.

Take a look please at:
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/ml-index.r
and let me know what needs fixing.


THE FINE PRINT

Not everything is finished yet:

1. The Date Index page that shows the number of messages per month should 
take you to an index page showing the titles of each message for that month. 
Right now, it takes you direct to the first message.

2. The archive is complete only up to 24-dec-2003.  It is unlikely to have 
more recent messages added for a couple of weeks.  After that, it should stay in 
step with the ML.

3 No link yet from the main REBOL.org page. We'll add that when it's official.

4. No on-site search engine yet.  That'll be a few weeks yet.


LIBRARY MEMBERS
You don't need to be a library member to read the ML archive -- it's a public 
resource.

But, if you are, and you are logged on, then your scrolling preference (how 
many items per page) is used when showing the various index lists.


Thanks again to Graham for getting this started,

Sunanda
