[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Fixing XML-DEV (was RE: State of the art in listserves)
After reliability of the list server software the most important requirement is support for searching and viewing the archives. This feature should be knowledgeable about mail, i.e. allow search by author, subject, date, and body. It should permit viewing a thread easily, without needing to do a lot of navigating up, sideways, and down. I personally would like to have each message copied to a Usenet newsgroup. Then I could use gnus to read the messages daily, rather than having to deal with them in my corporate standard Outlook.

Cc: David Megginson; 'peter@u...' Subject: Fixing XML-DEV (was RE: State of the art in listserves) Here here! We run the SOAP list ( http://discuss.develop.com/soap.html <http://discuss.develop.com/soap.html> ) on the listserv product from L-Soft and have had amazingly good success both in terms of and reliability and in terms of non-commercial community building (except for the DNS name of the server, you would never know the list is hosted by DevelopMentor). If Peter M-R is willing, DevelopMentor would be willing to host/mirror XML-DEV on our existing RELIABLE listserv infrastructure. FWIW, we have a full-time staffer dedicated to keeping this stuff running. I think a well-maintained dedicated listserv installation would be preferrable to a banner-ad ladden commercial site like eGroups.com.
