koha newby support and mailing list archives
Hi, I've been trying to figure out some Koha questions... (such as: "can I install it on a shared account with only Perl 5.6 enabled, not 5.6.1", or: "has somebody already written down notes how to install it on a shared hosting account, using the .htaccess files and not the Apache conf files, which are not accessible on most shared hosting accounts" and "could you provide me with some names of hosters where Koha can be installed"...) I already found some snippets of information using the text find option in my browser on the threaded subjects: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2004/thread.html What would be really nice (I'm probably not the first one to suggest...) is a searchable archive. I see some options to do it without having to host it yourself: - Marc mailing list archives http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/ - Yahoo groups: setting up the mailing list as a "remote group" (so simply keeping your own mail list manager but adding a yahoo archive mail address as subscriber: see for example: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/midgard-user/ ) - http://gmane.org/host.php : provides a searcheable interface AND a usenet nntp interface to the mailinglist... very handy so you can use your favourite usenet/nttp client to monitor a whole bunch of mailinglists you're subscribed to (example: http://gmane.org/info.php?group=gmane.comp.web.midgard.user ) All of the mentioned possibilities obfuscate mail addresses or give the possibility to do so, in order to protect your members from mail harvesting. I also understand that the people who have developed and still maintain Koha do not wish to give away the audience they've created to some hoster where they do not trust privacy policy or the commercial intentions... That's why I would really recommend gmane.org here... Not only do the provide a superior service, they're run by a bunch of geek volunteers whose only intention is to make their great idea come true (http://gmane.org/faq.php). Subscribing a list to their service: http://gmane.org/subscribe.php Importing the already existing archives: http://gmane.org/import.php (mbox is their preferred format). Greetings, pascal van hecke

Well, that's nice, but I'm not sure whether you're offering or what. http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html#want Does adding site:lists.katipo.co.nz to a google search, or similar on another engine, not work for you? -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ for creative copyleft computing Help hack the EuroParl! http://mjr.towers.org.uk/proj/eurovote/
Hi MJR,
What would be really nice (I'm probably not the first one to suggest...) is a searchable archive.

It was a _suggestion_ to the owner of the list to use one of the mentioned archiving possibilities. I do not want to set up myself an archived version of the list (which is possible, although the list administrator always can cut you off by removing the mail address feeding the archive from the mailing list), because I not think I have any right to do so without consent of the list owner.
Does adding site:lists.katipo.co.nz to a google search, or similar on another engine, not work for you?
Well, not really. http://www.google.com/search?q=shared+account+site%3Alists.katipo.co.nz gives me links to full year archives, and I have to rely on the text find option of my browser again to search for one particular string.

The owner of the list should be koha-owner@lists.katipo.co.nz if you want to contact them.

That's because no one message holds all three words. That is to say, your search returned no results. I suggest trying just "hosting" instead of "shared account". -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ for creative copyleft computing Help hack the EuroParl! http://mjr.towers.org.uk/proj/eurovote/
