List archives upgrade

Mike Davis · Post by **Mike Davis** » Fri Feb 17, 2012 8:34 pm

Just thought I'd send a message to everyone updating you on what I've found
out about upgrading the list archives. First, here is the best solution
I've found so far, let me know if this sounds good to everyone...

Viewing the archives in your web browser you would see that a message had
an attachment, and you would be able to forward that message to your e-mail
address with the attachment... you would not be able to view the attachment
online.

Or, using special software that I would make available for free, you could
view the messages in a program very much like any other mail program, that
would let you download the attachments directly to your
computer. Additionally, this software would allow instant messaging
between users who may be connected to the system at the same time, and
there is also a feature for chat rooms. The software will run on all
versions of Windows, and Macintosh... sorry Linux users. The chat room
feature will work with any Java enabled browser, but no instant messaging
for Linux.

The search capabilities of the archives and available files would be
greatly enhanced also, since everything would be stored in databases
instead of flat HTML (read text) files. Boolean logic searches would work
(AND OR NOT).

There are many other features that may or may not be of interest, like
games... but I think this is the best solution for what we've been looking for.

Now, the bottom line... I spent thousands of dollars on this software in
1996, and I can upgrade it to the most recent version for only $50... and
keep it upgraded for around $150 a year. The only real hurdle is that I'd
have to build up another server and ship it down to Charlotte to replace
the existing one... this is not the kind of installation I could do
remotely. It installs from about 8 CD-ROMs. I already have the hardware,
I would just need to build it up and ship it. I figure that shipping the
new server down, and the old one back will run around $250... so for about
$300 total we can fix our attachment problem, fix the poor search
capabilities, and add some additional features that might be fun. Maybe
Bobp could lead an online builders chat once a month. There are currently
about 170 members on the list, so that's less than $2 a piece.

Let me know what you think, if there's enough interest, then I'll get
started on the next step.

Thanks, Mike

Personally I'm happy with the present system and don't really see the
need for you to do the extra work. I'm up for a few bucks contribution
regardless of whether you upgrade though.

It is YOUR list server Mike, but with my W.W.II mentality (i.e. Lycoming

Rebels list that you were asked for?? Heck, I can't even get on the "ftp"

But if you do go ahead with the changes I am definitely in for my share of

view the messages in a program very much like any other mail program,

that

would let you download the attachments directly to your
computer. Additionally, this software would allow instant messaging
between users who may be connected to the system at the same time, and
there is also a feature for chat rooms. The software will run on all
versions of Windows, and Macintosh... sorry Linux users. The chat room
feature will work with any Java enabled browser, but no instant

messaging

for Linux.

The search capabilities of the archives and available files would be
greatly enhanced also, since everything would be stored in databases
instead of flat HTML (read text) files. Boolean logic searches would

work

(AND OR NOT).

There are many other features that may or may not be of interest, like
games... but I think this is the best solution for what we've been

looking

for.
Now, the bottom line... I spent thousands of dollars on this software in
1996, and I can upgrade it to the most recent version for only $50...

and

keep it upgraded for around $150 a year. The only real hurdle is that

I'd

have to build up another server and ship it down to Charlotte to replace
the existing one... this is not the kind of installation I could do
remotely. It installs from about 8 CD-ROMs. I already have the

hardware,

I would just need to build it up and ship it. I figure that shipping

the

new server down, and the old one back will run around $250... so for

about

$300 total we can fix our attachment problem, fix the poor search
capabilities, and add some additional features that might be fun. Maybe
Bobp could lead an online builders chat once a month. There are

currently

about 170 members on the list, so that's less than $2 a piece.

Let me know what you think, if there's enough interest, then I'll get
started on the next step.

Thanks, Mike
