Should we put the webkit.org mailing lists on Gmane?
Gmane (<http://gmane.org>) provides a few features that could be useful for thewebkit.org mailing lists, including: * a nicer web interface than Mailman's * indexed search (maybe better than Mailman's, certainly at least as good, and with a better interface) * a mail-to-news gateway (good for people who like news readers) I think it would be good to put our mailing lists on Gmane (including importing the archives of the lists). If we do this, I'd suggest using the names gmane.comp.web.webkit. {dev,changes,unassigned,etc.}. This matches what other similar projects (like Chromium) have done. Getting the lists posted and imported just requires filling out a web form (for posting the lists) and sending an email (to request the import). I'm happy to take responsibility for doing this if people are in favor of it. -Adam

+1, mainly for the indexed search, I'm not much into news =)

Thanks for taking the initiative! See you, -- Gustavo Noronha <gns@gnome.org> GNOME contributor
Given the single vote in favor and no one opposed, I'm going to work on this today. -Adam On Jun 15, 2009, at 4:52 PM, Gustavo Noronha wrote:

Belated +1. I'm already following one list on gmane.os.opendarwin.webkit.devel . Not sure which list that maps to. I guess you want to get that one renamed to the new standardized names. I imagine you will have to make some kind of special request for that. My experience has been that it can take a while for gmane to pick up new requests, so, be patient. -- Patrick Mueller

That maps to this list, webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org.

Yes, I've emailed the Gmane admin about renaming this, and what the effect of the rename would be for people already using the old name.
My experience has been that it can take a while for gmane to pick up new requests, so, be patient.
Thanks for the advice! -Adam

Another option is using the MarkMail archives (http://webkit.markmail.org/ ). They have archives going back to 2005 for the dev, reviews and unassigned lists. Outside of a pretty powerful search box, MarkMail has a couple of nice features including analytics and custom RSS feeds for any query you give it (disclaimer: I'm one of the developers on the site so I'm a little biased :). --Ryan

The lists are now all on Gmane. Archives for the newer lists have not been imported, but Gmane already has data going back to July 2009. The newsgroups all fall under the "gmane.os.opendarwin.webkit" prefix, to match the already-existing gmane.os.opendarwin.webkit.devel group. The group names (and their equivalent lists.webkit.org lists) are: gmane.os.opendarwin.webkit. devel (webkit-dev) gtk (webkit-gtk) jobs (webkit-jobs) qt (webkit-qt) user (webkit-help) ("user" was chosen by the Gmane administrators, presumably to match other projects' groups.) -Adam

Can we drop the "os.opendarwin" part? The project formerly known as opendarwin is mostly (<http://www.opendarwin.org/>) dead. I think gmane.org.webkit would be better. Dave

In my original proposal to this list [1] and in my subscription request to Gmane, I suggested that the lists be prefixed with gmane.comp.web.webkit., to match other similar projects. But I was told that Gmane groups cannot be renamed, so it seemed best to give all the lists the same (outdated) prefix. -Adam 1. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.opendarwin.webkit.devel/8252/focus=8501
