[MD] Are the archives in good shape?

[David Harding]

Ian,

I've been thinking about this and looking into it recently.  And from  
what I can tell there is currently no central archival database.  
Moreover, there is no way of displaying just one persons posts they  
have ever made on a single page.  Not even the broken up archives, as  
the state they are in at the moment, can do this on their own.  You  
can display All posts over the archival period of each database, but  
you cannot display just the posts of one person on a page.

The reason the archives appear to currently be in three different  
locations is because three mailing list managers have been used, two  
different versions of one manager and another manager (Mailman) that  
we're using now.

I've looked into the possibility (for starters at least, we can look  
at displaying of information later) of merging the three archives and  
the good news is, it's possible.  I've saved some links and I was  
going to look into it further and make it easy as possible for Horse  
to do as I know how busy he is.

Cheers,

David.
