Suggestion: more frequent list archive updates
Hi,
I recently sent the below message to debian-user. Someone there
suggested I send the message here. Anyway, the message is basically
self explanatory.
Cheers,
Mark.
P.S. I am not actually subscribed to this list so please cc replies to
me, thanks.

Hi,
I am currently not subscribed to debian-user simply because I don't
have the disk space to handle all the messages. So what I do is read
it via the archives. The problem is that there is a day or two lag
between a message being sent and it appearing in the archive. This
delay makes interactive use of the list difficult.
The thought I had was: why not make the archive much more responsive?
Why not update it every few minutes? Now perhaps there are good
reasons why this is not possible???? But I would have thought it
wouldn't be too hard.
Surely a web based interface to the list is a more efficient way to go
in any case?
Cheers,
Mark.
