<p><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Is there any way to syndicate
mailing list posts as RSS? Those I can import.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Jim</span></p>If Igor simply doesnt have time to make something centrally with the list backend but can specify how its stored, I would be willing to write some script or other to parse it and output the necessary RSS for importing everything (except for subscribe, unsubscribe, etc).<br>
<br>Alternatively, for external solutions, I might have some time to build a scraper
that pulls from MARC.info or something and builds an RSS feed for you
to import out of the old threads. For current stuff, we'd probably want something posting (on the backend) that is subscribed to the list directly and reading its mbox.<br><br>Of course that's for the simple case of just dumping them to a single subforum. Are we going to try to do complete replication? I mean post all forum posts to the list and then therefore maintain replies between them, or just a one-to-one subforum? I am for the one-to-one mapping based on a love for simple machines, and that it's easy to decouple the forum and mailing list if necessary.<br>
<br>Any of these rediculous meanderings making sense?<br><br>- Merlin<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 7:55 PM, Jim Ohlstein <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jim.ohlstein@gmail.com">jim.ohlstein@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you Igor for giving us use of the domain name.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The location of the forum is <a href="http://forum.nginx.org" target="_blank">http://forum.nginx.org</a>.
It’s a work in progress but let’s use it. There’s a location for suggestions there
so post away if you have them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If there is a desire for other languages I can set that up
too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jim</p>
