Thread: Archives: link to MarkMail?

Someone from MarkMail asked if it would be possible to add a link to the
MarkMail PostgreSQL list archives (http://postgresql.markmail.org) to
archives.postgresql.org. Would it be?

Sort of like alternative archive search engines?   Yes, that would work.
I currently have for URLs:

Actually putting the links on archives.postgresql.org would be a bad thing
to do right now, since we're changing around quite a bit of where those
pages are coming from etc.

We could put it on the http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/ page
though. The question then becomes - do we link to all of them? If not,
what's the criteria for which one(s) get listed?

What I'd do is put a link to the specific archive for each specific list
in the description at the top of each list's page (on each list's "top"
file, or the table entry when we get that thing in).

That we can do, but let's fix the other parts there first.

And the second question still remains to be decided upon before we can do that.
