1. Although, just copying the archive may not seem to add too much value, I do see the potential improvement to the forum search index. However, it would be real useful if this transfer could be automated and turned into a kind of near-realtime sync. Then all you needed to implement is reverse sync to forward the replies given on the forum to the original mailing list. And by that we have created a single unified platform from two, previously disjoint ones! 2. Repeat for all platforms. 3. ??? 4. Profit!!!
