| guruprasad | pabs3, lists.launchpad.net is using Mailman 2 and we are evaluating its future (the future of the current code, the future of mailing list hosting itself, etc.) since Mailman 2 stops us at Python 3 and Mailman 3 is an incompatible rewrite. | 09:17 |
|---|---|---|
| guruprasad | If and when we do something about this, we will preserve all the archives - one of the ideas was to host a static export of the last copy of all the data before we make any destructive changes. | 09:18 |
| pabs3 | great | 09:18 |
| guruprasad | And yes, archiving to archive.org sounds like a useful thing to do too | 09:18 |
| pabs3 | btw, there is a WIP mailman2 fork for Python 3 https://github.com/jaredmauch/mailman2-python3 | 09:18 |
| guruprasad | There are 3rd party mailing list archive services that archive many Launchpad mailing lists, but us doing it using archive.org makes it first-party involvement and likely to be more comprehensive. | 09:19 |
| guruprasad | pabs3, yes, cjwatson has mentioned that a few times but we still need to assesss it thoroughly and see if it fits in the model of what we want to do with mailing list hosting. | 09:19 |
| pabs3 | given a full list of all the mailing list names, I can do the archive.org saving using the ArchiveBot crawler https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveBot | 09:21 |
| guruprasad | pabs3, thanks! The service is still live and will continue to work in its current state till we decide on what to do with it. | 09:22 |
| pabs3 | cool | 09:22 |
| guruprasad | Launchpad has a lot of private mailing lists of importance too and we need to come up with a solution that works for those too. | 09:23 |
| guruprasad | So there is a lot of investigation and evaluation to do from our side for this. | 09:23 |
| pabs3 | I see | 09:29 |
