Hi Arnout,

Your criticism is valid and you provide good suggestions.
I'll hook you up with an account to the www-drupal.

ack. BTW. Does anyone know what happened to lam.fugal.net ?

Instead of patching the drupal mail-archive-views, let's just make a
"Mail Archive" page that points to lists.linuxaudio.org along with some
information and links to the feeds (eg.
http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lad/feed).

What do you think?

The browse-by-day is a shortcoming of drupal's mailmodule.
However once you're reading a message there (eg. search-result) you can
follow it's thread across days quite easily.

IMO, if we manage to visualize the resources list better, it should
become the front-page.

lad is mostly deprecated. It's content is to be migrated to
www.linuxaudio.org and wiki.linuxaudio.org. See comments in earlier emails.

Burkhard Ritter (CCed) is site-admin and with Ico responsible for
content of www.linuxaudio.org. Ico and I are root of the server.
