Re: [mlmmj] Candidate for an 1.4.0.a1, glad for the work

Greetings.

I want to give anyone working on the 1.4.0.a1 mlmmj candidate my thanks, it's 
good to see that this work is going on, and I'm looking forward to packaging it 
and other pieces for it for Debian when it's in a semi-stable/usable state.

I'm personally interested in an mlmmj-archiver web indexing program, because 
I've had difficulties with other mailing list archivers. Lurker works but seemed 
relatively inflexible, and Mhonarc required a fair bit of configuration and I 
never did figure out its configuration language. Debian mailing lists are 
archived in Mhonarc but I don't currently have access to the configuration used 
for those.

Re: using the mlmmj name, my only thought is perhaps a minor addition to the 
name to distinguish the fork, such as mlmmj-ng (next-generation) or mlmmj2. It's 
not a requirement, it's just mentioning what I typically see other projects do. 
I think the idea is to cover the possibility of upstream picking up their old 
project again and/or avoiding old/new naming clashes. If the old/same name is 
stuck with I don't have any objection.

Just in case I don't check the mailing list often enough: when you think the 
program is in a buildable/usable enough state for being packaged and uploaded to 
Debian, please ping me via email.

Thanks
