--- Evening, I've gone through lists.html and documented the Sourceware public-inbox instance, since it seems to be commonly missed, yet some might find useful.
This patch includes: - A brief summary of what the public-inbox provides, - A brief summary on alternative methods of accessing the archives, and - Convenience links next to each ML link that allows the reader to quickly jump to the public-inbox. Thanks in advance, have a lovely night! htdocs/lists.html | 110 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 88 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) diff --git a/htdocs/lists.html b/htdocs/lists.html index b50e9ac3..89be66c9 100644 --- a/htdocs/lists.html +++ b/htdocs/lists.html @@ -21,11 +21,57 @@ Please make yourself familiar with <a href="#policies">our policies</a> before <a href="#subscribe">subscribing</a> and posting to these lists. </p> +<p> + The mailing lists are available in two frontends: the traditional Pipermail + and the newer <a href="https://public-inbox.org/";>public-inbox</a>, which + some might find more friendly or useful, as it allows following threads that + span months, etc. Both are linked below, with <code>(inbox)</code> leading + to the public-inbox archive. +</p> + +<p> + The public-inbox archives also provide an alternative search interface.
