  • Subject: *** ADMIN: Contributions of a different sort!

Folks:

I'm looking for someone to make a contribution of a different sort... WEB
SPACE.

I've got a system to convert the mailing list archives into web pages and I
think it might just work... however, I need web space.  I've only got 20mb
on www.midrange.com, and that won't be nearly enough.

The raw data currently takes up 76mb (it grows by about 3-5mb / month) and
will probably expand significantly when everything is converted to HTML.

It's theoretically possible to split the archive up among multiple
servers... as I plan on breaking the archive into monthly chunks... so if
multiple people have web space to offer... :)

To see a small, very rough, sample of what the archive will be like.. check
out http://www.midrange.com/archive/maillist.html

I've tried very hard to protect email addresses so that spammers can't farm
the web pages (I wasn't 100% successful, but it will take a very determined
spammer to figure it out).

Thanks!

david
