Vic,

Perhaps consider setting up forums? Mailing lists are more
real-time, but forums allow better subdivision of topics
and archiving of messages.

Just a thought.

I'd be willing to help out with administration of the
web site. Not a web designer, but I can help with
anything else.

If you go to the plug-discuss list's main page, it points
to the archives as follows:

   "To see the collection of prior postings to the list,
    visit the PLUG-discuss Archives."

The link is to:
   http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/pipermail/plug-discuss/

I doubt Linus has any concept of the BREADTH of historic
impact his little project has grown to have!  This archive
displays messages posted to this list from October 1904
thru December 2002.  Wow.

Is there no way that messages could be stored by when
they ARRIVED at the mail server, instead of what dates
the senders' mail clients happened to THINK it was when
they posted the message?

I was thinking of putting a button beneath the
[Plug Presents] button on the web site's navigation
bar, saying [Eavesdrop on PLUG Discussion List].
But the mis-organization and arbitrary splitting up by
incorrect dates is sort of off-putting.  And I don't
see any practical way to search the archive.  That would
be a great thing to add if we should get into dynamic
content.

Vic
