Hi Guys,

As Jeremy likes it, let me share some work I did (when repairing the Mailman server earlier this year): An *alternate "**Xymon Mailing List Archive"* Server

https://xymon-monitoring.github.io/xymon-discussion-public/ <https://xymon-monitoring.github.io/xymon-discussion-public/>

Why I didn't share it earlier:

• This does not bring anything the current mailing list does not already provide.

What is nice:

• Searchable as a first-class feature.
• Simple UI, following Xymon's one-click philosophy.
• Folded past conversations for easy reading.
• Anonymized.
• Raw archive of the current mailing list on GitHub.
• Hosted entirely on GitHub.

What is not nice:

• Custom-made: it probably needs more maintenance than Mailman.
• It cannot work standalone without Mailman, this cannot replace it (we still need a mailing list server).
• 1-day sync (automatic) due to GitHub cron policy (so some latency, acceptable for an archive).

Things to do:

• Import the SourceForge conversations.

There is no plan to push it further for now or to replace the current one. (Let me know if you would like to!)

*And also some other information about repository privacy:*

Two private repositories are available to Xymon Monitoring members:

• |Private|(general information)
• |Discussion private|(raw export of Mailman, with private information) → |Discussion public|: generation of the public website

That's brilliant, Bruno! Searchable, and goes all the way back to
2005, in the "Hobbit" days. Nice one!
