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
