Re: [OT] A News Group Perhaps.
Hi Matt, I am sure this has been said before so my apologies if I bore! Most mail clients let you setup rules. For the mySQL list I automatically redirect all messages into a separate folder based on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] email address. This creates a fabulous resource that can be searched (title and text) and can be read or ignored by choice. I am not a great fan of Newsgroups - they get spammed too much and messages get lost or archived. Some ISPs carry them, some don't. All too hit and miss for a resource on which I rely and am very grateful for.

Hi, I was wondering if the mysql list had any plans to be put onto a news group. I have only been a memeber a short time but I have found %50 of the information to be usefull. This does however mean that %50 is does not apply to me at this time. Due to this I get a lot of emails that are of no use to me at the moment. I would be keen to talk about hosting this list as a news group to make it browsable so myself and others could pick out infromation that is usefull to me at this time. The email list could stay for mass contributions but I would rather just browse for information I need. Any thoughts on this ?

Re: [OT] A News Group Perhaps.
also screen what you don't need. I delete everything regarding installation. I don't have solaris and I don't have red hat so 80% of the install questions I can't help. You can set up pretty complex sorting rules. It might take a couple of weeks to set up, but once it's done you should receive only wanted informations.

Re: [OT] A News Group Perhaps.
I would vote in favor of using vbulletin (www.vbulletin.com) it's got forums for talk like this, web-based, and runs off of the MySQL server as a back-end. An example in action is vbulletin itself or community.installshield.com. Very slick indeed. Kelly FYI, I'm somewhat biased in favor of it because I have set up this program and know how well it works. It's a great example of PHP and MySQL working together.

Re: [OT] A News Group Perhaps.
Well that's called a forum and it's not at all like a mailing list :-) But yes there could be a forum, but there are already some on the net www.devshed.com have a mySQL part and a Perl part and a PHP part. Plus a forum requires servers, space, web hosting, DNS, maintenance, moderation, programming.. the mailing list is al up and running. I don't like vbulletin, well I don't like the fact that you get the header and wait, wait and wait for the body to display, it's getting the messages out of the DB everytime a user loads a page and the little 3-4 seconds it takes to get the info is annoying :) my 2 cents Etienne Kelly Firkins wrote: I would vote in favor of using vbulletin (www.vbulletin.com) it's got forums for talk like this, web-based, and runs off of the MySQL server as a back-end.

RE: [OT] A News Group Perhaps.
Actually I setup a vBulletin forum for MySQL over at www.mysqlforums.com and I am the moderator of the MySQL and Server Configuration forums over at www.vbulletin.com/forum/ I've been keeping an archive of the mailing lists, mainly for my own purposes to search through old questions and answers from these lists, but I certainly would like to offer it to others that would find it useful for searching for older threads and for those that prefer a web-based solution over email lists.
