I wonder, why isn't there a copy of the mailing list archives on<br>
Gmane [1]?<br>
<br>
NNTP is just out of competition for accessing such archives, and<br>
it makes it easy to replicate a part or the whole of a mailing<br>
list's archive at one's own host (for off-line reading, or<br>
Internet-independent searching, or pretty much anything.)<br>
<br>
It takes virtually no effort to configure mailing list to Gmane<br>
and vice versa forwarding, but, IIUC, it requires an explicit<br>
mailing list's owner action to replicate the messages already<br>
posted at Gmane.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div>Actually this would be a fantastic thing for a random community member to do - you just need to enter the request on gmane's site and then provide them with a nicer version of the archives from <a href="http://lists.bestpractical.com/pipermail/prophet/">http://lists.bestpractical.com/pipermail/prophet/</a> - I've done this many times for various lists I wanted to access via gmane. Note that adding archives can take a while as gmane admins are usually pretty overworked.<div>
