My remark was about syncing between mailing lists, NNTP servers and web
fora, but I maybe a little awkwardly placed.

And to answer that question: yes, I am still reading some newsgroups
with my NNTP client.

Re: [PD] access to archives

2014-01-23 Thread Jonathan Wilkes
You can also download the entire archive linked in the top-left corner.
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/

It's in a format called "mbox" that predates various forces attempting to 
remake the internet in the style of cable-tv (who btw are succeeding, at least 
in the U.S.).

The archive gives you the "content" you're after, and you decide how you want 
to present it.  (Yet another dream of the early web pioneers that's dying a 
slow death.)  You can import that "mbox" file into _any_ email application and 
it will make sense of it because it's an international standard format for 
email.

There are tutorials for doing this with Thunderbird-- essentially just putting 
the mbox file in the correct directory and opening the application.  Then it 
will appear and you can browse/search/reorg all those Pd list messages like any 
other email message.  Finally, make a filter to put new incoming Pd-list 
messages there and you're done.  Thunderbird may suggest archiving the thing 
because it slows down searching, but a slow local search is still faster than 
the average search on Gmane.

You can also download any Thunderbird plugin to display the messages in a 
newsgroup style, with threading, and all kinds of other options that 
essentially let you present the messages however it suits you.


Unfortunately, this means the Pd-list server has to take a hit while you 
download the archive.  It'd be nice if the Bittorrent protocol had been 
expanded in the past decade to handle files that grow over time.  But again, 
there is a very real battle against all technology and infrastructure that 
distributes content at zero cost.  So this is the next best thing.

-Jonathan

as a member of the German Pirate Party, I know for sure, that such a thing 
exists and in fact is used by lots of members.

According the (obsolete) documentation, the mailing lists use Mailman as well, 
so if you want, I can ask the admin team for up-to-date information:

definitely.
i haven't found any list archiving software yet, that really fits our
needs (and which integrates nicely with mailman).

but i'm very open for suggestions (esp. if they point towards an
implementation).

in the meantime you can use one of the 3rd party archives

mailman has an interface to newsgroups, but
- - i've never used it
- - someone has to run a news-server
- - do you think newsgroups are an appropriate medium these days?

ah, and gmane provides a newsgroup gateway anyhow...

[PD] access to archives

2014-01-23 Thread Py Fave
is it possible to improve the archive of pd-list ?


currently if a discussion spreads on a few monthes ,
you can't follow it.

and it would be easier to have a common interface to use all the
informations that "sleep" inside.(sorting by type of content  (such as gem,
control, audio  for instance)

i feel it would be useful.
to complement the documentation since many discussions are in there
