Mailing list archive

Peter Williams <peter.williams@...>
Is the spdx mailing list archived anywhere? I was looking to read up on the past debate around a particular part of the spec and I was unable to locate an archive of the mailing list.
It is crucial that the forum in which so many of the decisions regarding SPDX are made be archived and made available on the web. The lack of an archive on the web make our work quite opaque to anyone who is not currently subscribed. It also hides this effort from people who might be interested because none of it shows up in search engines. It is possible to turn on an archiving feature in our list server?

Armijn, Now that you have appeared in the NY Times with a Boston Red Sox hat http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/26/business/26ping.html?src=busln, I feel I must respond quickly. There are a number of places in SPDX.org that provide links to the mail list sign up, for example: Click on the mail list sign up link. Then click on the first link that appears on the mail list page https://fossbazaar.org/mailman/listinfo/spdx and you will be taken to the archive. Phil L.

Sweet, thanks. I added a link to the participation guidelines page in the wiki. Hopefully one more link will make google pick it up. Peter |

Does anyone object to moving the content of <http://www.spdx.org/wiki/spdx/participation-guidelines> to the main participation page, <http://www.spdx.org/node/2240>? A page named "guidelines" seems more like a code of conduct than a page containing the details of how one would go about participating. And the extra click seem unnecessary.

Peter,

I'm responsible for the hierarchy, so I'll weigh in. I'd rather change the name to "Getting Started" or something like that (if it's the "Guidelines" that bothers you) rather than moving it. I understand it takes an extra click, but the page contains information that one no longer needs once signed up and familiar, so why make everyone keep looking at it? I'm not hard over on this, but I do think it's better where it is. Phil L.

A name change would be an improvement.

I see your point about not complicating navigation for existing participants. However, having a top level page that basically free of content, as the participation page is now, is a waste. Would moving the minutes and spec development links to the top of the partcipation page and then adding a "Getting Started" section below those links work? It would make the navigation links for on going participation even easier to get to than they are now. And it would be really obvious for potential participants how to go about getting started.
