May 01, 2004 New D newsgroup and conversion of the old one to html | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
When Walter asked if someone was up to the task of converting the old newsgroup to html, i said to myself "Ok, here is my chance to impress him" ! I thought i can do it in one or two weeks. But his was an error for two reasons: 1. Jen Knepper had already offer to do the job, and 2. There exists excellent tools that do exactly that. (links at the end of this post) I realized that i might have walk on the toes of Jan. I hope Jan is not offended of this. Working on this was a lot of fun. I learned. But, there is much more to consider than i first thought. To do the job properly, one must process the Content-Type, Encoding-Type, MIME presence, ... So i searched the net for some source code. i finally found a page which was produced by Pipermail. Looking for Pipermail ( which is discontinued), i found these three packages: 1. Hypermail http://www.hypermail.org/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/hypermail/ 2. MHmonArc http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/mhonarc.html 3. mharc http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/mhonarc.html There is no development to do, just configuration files... mharc seems to simplify even more the task. I dont know if Jan was aware of these packages when he said it was a lot of work, but here they are. I think they will help a lot more than i can.. Marc |
