                Hello,

                  Is it possible to make all mailing list archives
        available for
                download (excep private lists) ?

                  I would like to try to get them imported into
        mail-archive.com <http://mail-archive.com>
        <http://mail-archive.com>
        <http://mail-archive.com> for public use.

                Thank you,

                --

            Why are you interested in doing this ?



        To have an alternative searchable archive of the mailing lists.
        Is it bad ?


    I think it's a good thing. But it's just the kind of thing that
    could be used to harvest email addresses or some other information.
    I'd personally prefer if you'd work with the opensolaris.org
    <http://opensolaris.org> team to have that functionality, but it's a
    free web.


That's a valid point. However mail-archive.com <http://mail-archive.com>
hides the emails addresses while the Mailman archives show them
explicitly (in the "user at domain" format). Also, mail-archive.com
<http://mail-archive.com> has been active for so long that I think they
would be exposed by now, if they were selling email addresses.

If the website team has the man power right now to provide that
functionality it'd be very nice. If there already is something like
that, I admit I didn't bother to look too much for it as I was also
thinking that it'd be good to have the emails archived somewhere else
for safety and history preservation.

All of our mailing lists are already searchable via opensolaris.markmail.org, or using "site:mail.opensolaris.org" in google. FYI.
