gmane might go off-line soon
Hi all (especially the gardeners), have you seen this post? https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2016/07/28/the-end-of-gmane/ Long story short: the sole maintainer of gmane is getting fed up with ddos attacks and is thinking about terminating the service. If I’m not mistaken, for the time being, gmane is the only searchable archive of the context mailing list, so this would be a major setback. On the garden, there has been a note for five or six years (I think) that work is being done on archive.contextgarden.net. Maybe the approaching end of gmane would be a good motivation to really do this work? Thomas

That’s sad :-( It really was a great service. I can’t blame the maintainer, of course.

Alternatively, Mailman, the mailing list software used by this list, can be set up to use htdig for searching the archive; that’s what most lists on tug.org use (see the top of http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/ for example). Best, Arthur
I personally use mail-archive.org. http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/ Best, Joseph De : Arthur Reutenauer

Sad :( Do you have any suggestions for some software with a nice interface to run the archive? (Ideally someone would adapt the software used by gmane, but apparently that's a non-trivial task.) Mojca
