Subject: Re: Mailing List Archival: Tell me what you think
[Norm Walsh:] | / Jon Bosak <bosak@boethius.eng.sun.com> was heard to say: | | Everything we're doing in the process committee hinges on the | | assumption that archives are public (not world-writable, but | | world-readable). | | Does it follow that private lists will be publicly archived? | I'm hesitant to announce the DocBook list archive because the | docbook-eb and docbook-tc lists are equally accessible. | | It's always been my assumption that the EB list, for example, | would not be made public. I'm not sure that all discussions have | been carried out with the sort of political correctness that | would have been used had the list been public. I'm not sure they | weren't either, but... The assumption I referred to was about the future, not the past. I think the smart thing to do with existing mail lists is to keep their *past* contents private and start over with publicly visible versions on (say) 2000.01.01 after putting everyone on notice that from this point on their postings will be publicly visible. Jon
