That’s why I installed the ht://Dig archive search, I use it a fair bit to dig through the archives at http://www.soca.ecu.edu.au/mailman/ listinfo/heidegger But yeh, it’s old school and kind of difficult to squash into a useable format.

You definitely need an admin/moderator to keep things busy and moving but if a community can build around that then all the better. This list is itself sustained by a community of interests, it wouldn’t exist otherwise. The wiki could be interesting as I’ve got a custom template for Mediawiki which is the same app that Wikipedia runs on and could be good for the long threatened Heidegger FAQ.

Well that’s on my possible build plan as well … a WordPress Multiuser blog server hooked into the current site with forum and wiki. Early days yet though but I’ll add it if I think it’s worth the time. Would anyone be interested in a Heidegger blog attached to the list archive discussion?

I was thinking about that. Currently the list strips html out, plain text preferred mainly cos html really messes up the plain text Pipermail archives. I just turned off content filtering, so if you want to send a full html message with images we’ll see what it looks like.
Cheers,
