This sounds excellent. All in all, it would be better to have them in one
location.

Can I insert a plea here (too late, I'm going to do it anyway ;->): 

If there was some way to internally organize the archive (i.e. by month or
year)  this would be very handy. Some of these lists (like editors) now
have upwards of 2,200 archived messages. It can be very tedious to have to
scroll through huge numbers of messages each time just to get to one your
are interested in since both the index files and the directory files are
simply flat (sequential in one case and numerical in the other). If there
was some way of being able to go to a specific month or year it would be a
great asset. I don't know if this would be at all easy to implment, but if
it was it would be superb.

Also good to know!

Thanks! This will presumably also effect:

ccn-comm
ccn-ip
ccn-tech
csuite-dev
csuite-doc
csuite-french
csuite-solaris
ccn-sat
cfn-funding

Which are also archived in the previous location (and perhaps other lists
I am not aware of).

Cheers!

Chris
