In my copious spare time, as well as an effort to relieve some stress, I have been playing with the code4lib mailing list archives, Hypermail, swish-e, and SRU.pm. Specifically, I have: * saved all the code4lib postings as mbox files * written a Hypermail configuration file * piped all of the mbox files to Hypermail to create sets of valid XHTML files * made the files browsable * written a swish-e configuration file * indexed the XHTML files with swish-e * written an XSLT stylesheet * provided access to the index through an SRU interface It took me a day and a half to initially create the system against my personal email archives. It took me about thirty minutes to set it up for the code4lib archives. It is still not extraordinarily pretty, but I think the system shows a lot of promise for packaging as well as a possible tutorial for learning about open source software, mailing list archive administration, indexing, stylesheets, and SRU.
