[REBOL] Question: Move the REBOL List? Re:(5)
That sounds good to me. You get my vote. But it would be nice to have the name REBOL as the newsgroup name. Perhaps you could find out who took this name and see if he/she might give it up for this newsgroup?? Otherwise, what shall we call this discussion group? How about: REBOLTALK REBOLUSERS REBOL/Users Or, if you can use brackets in name, try: [REBOL] ; I kind of like this one. It would also work when you search for the word "rebol" blah blah blah...etc...etc...

I suspect Rebol Crew have it. Here's the description that eGroups here http://www.egroups.com/group/rebol has about it: Quote [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a remote list. Message archive by month: No messages for this group.

[REBOL] Question: Move the REBOL List? Re:(2)
I would prefer a main-rebol newsgroup. (comp.lang.rebol) So we would have archive and web-functionality through dejanews. Furthermore newsgroups are IMHO better to handle with this daily amount of posts.

[REBOL] Question: Move the REBOL List? Re:(3)
How come, that the archive won't fit a CD-ROM ? I have archived all the messages to the REBOL list since -97 (the core/alpha days), and during 2000, I have received anything between 500 and 1400 messages per month.. The lists have existed about three years now, which will allow about 18MB of mails per month to fill up a CD.. 18MB and 1500 messages gives an average mail size of 12k (assuming that the list received 1500 messages a month in November -97)... As I can see from the yet unsorted 1704 messages during September and October, the REBOL list's average message size is about 2-3k, which is also true for the Ally list (which have received about 2200 mails since middle of February) Back in the time when it was possible to get digests of the messages, the maximum size of the 100-message mail I got was 330k. /PeO That would be good. For the archive, Scott mentioned that it is so large now that it does not fit on a CD-ROM. Perhaps if we compressed it?

Furthermore newsgroups are IMHO better to handle with this daily amount of posts. If this is all you want, egroups would be the better choice because their system is much better than what deja provides for newsgroups. Also, creating a new comp newsgroup will undoubtedly take months. Even if we were to go through the procedure for creating the group, there is no gauruntee it would pass. Moving to egroups will be the best short term solution. If we want to create a newsgroup as well, that would be okay.

I find myself interested in only a few of the messages on the list since I do not know REBOL well enough to get a lot of the messages. It would be really nice to get a digest and egroups offers that. I use a bunch of egroups lists and they are very good.
