I can sympathize with your desire to have a more searchable output for
this list, on-line forums such as g.d.o are a huge barrier to
participation compared to email lists.<br><br>
So if this list is moved to g.d.o and we want it to still be a useful
list with immediate feedback and lots of participants, we would also
need to provide a way for people to participate fully via email (i.e.
make it so it looks and acts just like an email list). In which case,
the threads will look/act/search like email, and I don't think we will
have solved anything.<br><br>
--Jennifer<br></div><br>My issue with the search results at <a href="http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/development">http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/development</a> is not the formatting; it's the content. Searching on terms like "module development" the top results are from March. I mean, there really is something wrong.<br>
<br>Given the delays in upgrading to the new d.o. design, I'm not sure where things stand. But I know there were definitely discussions about tweaking the notifications system and also adding Mail Comment (formerly Mail2Web): <a href="http://drupal.org/node/634074">http://drupal.org/node/634074</a>. Mail Comment would allow for replicating list serve functionality for folks who don't want to go to g.d.o. And again... I don't care about the formatting; I want the transparency, the integration with d.o. web sites, it running on Drupal, and also the much more personal and community feel you get at g.d.o with user pics/profiles etc. With Mail Comment we can have the push of the list serve but the better functionality of g.d.o.<br>
