NEWS AND NOTES FROM ROOTSWEB
THREADED LIST ARCHIVES ARE NOW AVAILABLE. Now you can read 122,813
messages from 877 mailing lists using your Web browser by visiting
<
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/>. All those messages are from just three
months of beta tests -- watch this archives grow with its public debut.
This is a remarkably comfortable way to browse through the posts that
have been made to the lists. Be sure to use the integrated search engine
to find what you are looking for.
To use the Archiver you will need to pick a user name and password and
you will need to accept a cookie. The reason for passwords and cookies
is to keep spammers' e-mail address harvesters *out* of the archives.
Because of this password-and- cookie feature, listowners can set up
lists to be archived with confidence that they are *not* exposing
posters' addresses to spammers. We encourage all RootsWeb listowners to
visit the Archiver and then include their lists in the archives.
The next step is to start making old list messages available.
Thanks to Marc Nozell for implementing the threaded archives. It's great
work.
