[From the moderator:] Your moderator will have only intermittent email contact May 3-15, so there will be delays in posting during that period. As noted below, archives of the categories list are now available in a user friendly format. An archive in mail file format will continue to be maintained and available from the list web page: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/categories.html and the link below will be included there soon. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:26:16 +0200 From: "Emilio [utf-8] Jesús Gallego Arias" <egallego@babel.ls.fi.upm.es> To: Bob Rosebrugh <rrosebru@mta.ca> Subject: Re: Categories mailing list request for gmane archival.

Thanks for your interest in the list. Eventually I'll announce the availability of this more user-friendly archive.
It took a while but categories@mta.ca archives starting from 1997 have been successfully imported into gmane. It will take a while until all the messages are correctly sorted by date. The archives are accessible at http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.science.mathematics.categories Merit for the import should go to gmane's administrator, Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org> Thanks a lot for your help. Yours sincerely, Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias
Gmane is a mail to news gateway, so it basically serves two purposes:
- Allows everyone to read and post to mailing lists with a more convenient news reader.
- Archives mail in a web-friendly way.
Additionally, Gmane can import list archives so the full posting history of the list is available through it.
The archives at http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/archive/ would be an excellent source for replaying categories@mta.ca history. However the Gmane administrators request that the list moderator approves the inclusion, see:
Would you approve it?
