Hi, I've been on the list for slightly under a month now and noticed; a) a fairly high amount of traffic, b) a lot of questions which come up more than once, c) the archives at lists.digium.com are not searchable. I have started development to import the mailinglist archives into a MySQL database and creating a full text search possibility on this. My questions; 1) Is this already done somewhere else ? 2) Is this of interest ? I'm developing myself now, mainly because I couldn't find a component in PHP or Perl that performs this trick. Does anybody know one, if not I'll continue on my own components. Thanks, Arnold Ligtvoet.

If you go to google and add "site:lists.digium.com" then your keywords.. you can search the list. bwk On Fri, 28 Nov 2003, Arnold Ligtvoet wrote:> Hi, > > I've been on the list for slightly under a month now and noticed; > a) a fairly high amount of traffic, > b) a lot of questions which come up more than once, > c) the archives at lists.digium.com are not searchable. > > I have started development to import the mailinglist archives into a MySQL > database and creating a full text search possibility on this.

Would really love to see a searchable archive. I think it would be very helpful. Thanks for taking this project on.

I am thinking in the direction of a knowledgebase here. Cheers, Philipp
