AFAIK, it's currently sitting on Alvaros table.... :-P The data is in a database these days. Alvaro was going to modify the archives pages to pull it's data from the database, and to somehow warn us if it goes out of sync with majordomo wrt which lists exists (since it can also see the raw majordomo data). //Magnus ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 5+ messages in thread

I think it makes more sense to have it all on archives - the most authoritative source of sanitized info we have for the public lists is the archives themselves. It would be relatively easy to have the list autogenerated form the filesystem, and store some descriptive text and a category name for each list there as well. New lists could appear automagically but go into an 'uncategorised' section with no description until someone remembers to add it. I'd prefer it to all be in a database, but I feel that unless the main index, list intro pages and subscription pages are all managed that way it'll just add complexity to no great benefit. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 5+ messages in thread

Well first let's clearly define the problems associated. I see a couple of things: 1. The following two pages are always out of sync. * http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/ * http://archives.postgresql.org 2. The two pages listed above are managed separately in terms of the content resource. Archives is a html where WWW is databased. I have two solutions: 1. We figure out a way to make WWW the front end portal. We can just use a redirect from archives if the url is / . There are benefits to this: * We have the subscribe form and other resources immediately available. * community/lists is already just a link point to archives so we don't need the archives front page. * We have a central place to manage all lists without worry of being out of sync 2. We leave things as is but change the method of keeping the two in sync. * Use a cron job on wwwmaster that will write out an xml file of current lists at the same time the mirror script updates. That xml file should be made available via rsync. * Have archives pull the xml file every -n- minutes that file is then parsed as part of the main index load on archives.postgresql.org Thoughts?
