I just noticed that I don't get the monthly mailing list reminders about
subscriptions and passwords that I used to get.

There are no passwords for web interface for the current mlmmj, so the reminders are not sent out because there is not a password for a web interface.

That would explain it. But then how do you manage things like messages that require approval? I guess by having the admin reply to the message? And then how do admins do admin things like adding other admins?

Are they supposed to be working or have they been disabled?

They are 'working' fine, but there is not one for passwords for there is not a password per se. Would you prefer a reminder about what lists you are subscribed to regardless? That can be done and it simply a cron job.

Not a big deal. But is kind of a nice way to notice if things aren't working, especially for lists that get little or no traffic.

And where are the mailing list archives again? All of the old links are

broken.

Can you tell me which links are broken? All the old archives are still there :

http://lists.common-lisp.net/pipermail/

So, it is simply a matter of `ln -s`ing the right directory/file to the spot where it has been for a while.

I don't remember what I was looking at but I got 404's. But now I know the correct link, so no problems.

As for the 'newer' web archives, it has not been completed yet. There are only 4 or 5 active mailing lists, yet someone wanted them all re-enabled regardless of use at all, so I spent my time doing that rather then setting up the web archives. Since then there has not been a request as far as I can tell, so this may be the proper time to do it.

I think the best is "mlmmj-webarchive" from "http://mlmmj.org/docs/readme-archives/". If you think so as well (view an existing one at "http://www.libssh.org/archive/"), that could simply be added today, and the 4-5 active lists will get a new archive soon.

That's ok with me. I'm less concerned about how it looks than in having the actual archive.

And in terms of archives, I see that the pipermail archive only has archives of cmucl-imp, cmucl-help, cmucl-cvs, and cmucl-ticket up through Mar or so. While some may think cmucl is dead, there has been some traffic on those lists after Mar. I have my own copies of messages on the lists, but it would be nice to have a more public archive.

Answer any one of those and what needs to be done to deal with it will be. Sorry about the delay.

Can't complain about the delay if I didn't complain what I thought was not working until now. :-)
