Hi Michael, I saw a few of those web posts about the conversion
process from LSoft to MailMan. I think I could help with that. It's
not clear how well it would work - sometimes you can't tell until
you do it - but I think it would be worth a few hours
experimentation to
Thank you Michael
The OSlist is a brilliant and vital resource and a space for personal
reflection and professional development. I'm willing to support your
proposals to continue the list beyond Boise, and happy to contribute
financially for the privilege of being a subscriber.
best wishes,
I agree with all the thanks Michael Txs for the work youve done already!
Sound like a great proposal to me, even if I cannot make a technical
evaluation I trust you and others on the list to have that competence.
I think the Swedish OSI might have some kronor to put into this

harold -- the $500 is not really a cost we can get around. if we want to
keep our 29000 messages. we need to run "listserv" (l-soft's brand name
email discussion list software) in order to keep our archives publicly
available and searchable. that cost includes hosting... but mostly it's for

some more. i found this...

blueprint for converting the archives we have into a format that the mailman
software would require. so we could blow of
Michael,
Many thanks for the research. I hope we can use the opportunity to also
convert the original list messages that date from 1996 that I've got on my
computer but aren't in the archives as part of the transition.
And I'm certainly willing to contribute to the $500. This list has been a
what month did the list start, peggy? i'm wondering how many messages you
have from that date through march 9th, 1998. might be only 300 or 400?

Dear Peggy and michael h,
I am specifically interested in complete archives, including what Peggy
has on her computer dating back to 1996. Of course, they should be in a
safe, permanent home. And I will contribute financially.
Regarding the other stuff, I will raise that issue in the fall boscop
Dera m,
in my upcoming book I have a section on OSLIST with this note from Murli
which he sent on December 13, 1996 to 57 os-nicks in the US and Canada:
Friends, OpenSpacers, and worldfolk,
prompted by Peggy’s posting I’ve set up a discussion list for all who
have email. Any message posted to
probably the first message *not* in teh archives, mmp. looking at message
volumes in first months of archives, there might be 700 messages not yet
archived between dec 13 1996 message from murli and march 10th 1998, when
archives begin. might be a manual process. maybe something that can be
take
Dear m,
ok, here is the string with early/first messages/archive that Peggy sent
in 2008...including a note from Peggy which sounds as if she has that
stuff back to December 13, 1996.
Murli also mentions a temporary site where the early info and messages
resided...I get a failure notice for it.
The number is even smaller. From that first message on Dec. 13, 1996 to March
9, 1998 were 298 messages. It's fun to look at the growth curve in terms of
frequency of posts. It was easy to keep up in the beginning!
