alternate "Xymon Mailing List Archive" Server 🔗 link

Hi Guys,

As Jeremy likes it, let me share some work I did (when repairing the Mailman server earlier this year): An alternate "Xymon Mailing List Archive" Server

https://xymon-monitoring.github.io/xymon-discussion-public/

Why I didn't share it earlier:

• This does not bring anything the current mailing list does not already provide.

What is nice:

• Searchable as a first-class feature.
• Simple UI, following Xymon's one-click philosophy.
• Folded past conversations for easy reading.
• Anonymized.
• Raw archive of the current mailing list on GitHub.
• Hosted entirely on GitHub.

What is not nice:

• Custom-made: it probably needs more maintenance than Mailman.
• It cannot work standalone without Mailman, this cannot replace it (we still need a mailing list server).
• 1-day sync (automatic) due to GitHub cron policy (so some latency, acceptable for an archive).

Things to do:

• Import the SourceForge conversations.

There is no plan to push it further for now or to replace the current one. (Let me know if you would like to!)

And also some other information about repository privacy:

Two private repositories are available to Xymon Monitoring members:

• Private (general information)
• Discussion private (raw export of Mailman, with private information) → Discussion public: generation of the public website
