Unofficial Google Groups archive of couchdb-user@
Since Apache's list archive is so difficult to search, and there's a lot of
useful information on this mailing list, I've set up an unofficial archive
at http://groups.google.com/group/couchdb-user-archive . It only contains
messages from when it was created (about a week ago) onwards, and it's
read-only, but hopefully it'll provide an easier place for people to find
relevant messages to this ML.

Great idea, thanks!
@Chris - it seems that posting is not enabled on the group - is it the same
for you ?
cheers,
Thibaut

markmail.org has a pretty good email search engine, and they crawl
apache project lists (among many others). I've had pretty good luck with
using it to search the CouchDB lists in the past.

I've done my best to make it absolutely clear where the 'real' list is, and
that this is just an archive.

I emailed infra@, and they told me to fix mod_mbox if I wanted anything to
change. Not saying this to discourage anyone else from trying, just letting
you know what the status is.

I think is referring to searching couchdb-user with Google.
In my defence: The old archives didn't have much relevant
information anymore and Noah asked me to nuke the group
to avoid user-confusion, which your archive introduces again.
(Told you on IRC, though). I'm not saying a searchable archive
is not useful but I really think this should be done on the ASF-
Infrastructure end. If done right this will benefit all list archives,
not just us. It'd be really cool, if someone could look into this:
Any takers?

Unfortunately, you can't do that anymore, either - Jan deleted the original
google group.

Thanks - I was scared to try!
I guess I'll no longer feel like a super-hero with my secret ability
to search gmail archives to find old CouchDB posts. Ah, the internet,
letting everyone be super-heros. :)

The list won't actually allow people to post (it's admin-posting-only), but
I've put up a welcome message on the front page informing people of this.

Do you mind putting up a bold sticky notice that directs people more
explicitly to the apache page for signup?
I'd hate to see people's messages disappearing into the void if they
try to join there to post to couchdb-user.
