what we can do easily is take the mail and put it in the database then take the data and display it on the web in some manner, but we don't have any way to make it bloglike in any real sense and I don't think we would provide that interactivity that way. We do have interactivity on the website though. mboudour@upatras.gr wrote:
Well, Michel's suggestion of a possible compilation among list mailings (in this case, asbracts, papers etc) might be technically plausible through an interface between the mailing list and a web portal or blogging platform mediated by a data base (say MySQL). It's easy in words but who's going to do it in practice? ;-) It seems to me that there is also a conceptual (strategic) difficulty of how to compromize the mailing list idea with the recent fashion of blogging without subsuming the former into the latter. (Evolving systems?)
