[htdig-dev] geocrawler not archiving htdig lists

[Gilles D. <gr...@sc...>]

Hi, folks.  I just discovered that geocrawler.com stopped
archiving htdig-general and htdig-dev as of Mon. Nov. 25, 2002.
I think we need to switch the automatically generated links
to the archives on http://www.htdig.org/mailarchive.html and
http://www.htdig.org/dev/devmailarchives.html from geocrawler.com to
the new sourceforge.net archives.

If any of you can think of an intelligent way of indexing the new
archives, please kindly make your suggestions here.  The trick would be to
do month by month updates (on a daily basis) as we did with geocrawler,
and skip over any superfluous stuff we don't want.  This is complicated
by the fact that individual message links don't carry the forum ID in
all views, so we'd have to limit indexing to a particular view of the 2
forums (Ultimate view seems like the best pick for now) and make sure we
get all the individual message links from this view.  Hopefully the style
of URLs won't change on us too frequently.  It seems that when Geoff and
I looked into this in August, you couldn't get the forum ID in links to
messages in any view, which would have made it very difficult to index
all and only messages in our forums.

Anyone feel up to solving this htdig configuration puzzle?
