One of the things I'm considering is making a
CD-rom distribution of the
list archives available to list members; any interest? It would allow for
faster searching and accessability to the archives for someone working on
a classic system not in the immediate vicinity of an internettable
computer. I could make it available as an ISO image download by individual
request, or burn CD's here for the cost of media/shipping.
I still need to add the search capability, so I'm
seriously looking for
someone with experience setting up Glimpse or something similar. Also, any
ideas for setting this up for a CD version would be appreciated.
What about adding an HTML search interface ?
A CD should give enough space to add several indices, so
some search trees can be added upfront (fixed). Also,
if search programms may be written in perl, they should be
fairly system independant.
