Hello,

I am pleased to announce that mailing list archives are back for all of
complete.org, aclug.org, and freeciv.org.

I took this opportunity to re-do the mailing list interfaces using my own
custom software.  Right now, the interface is very bare-bones -- I wanted to
get it UP first and then work on features -- however, it is functional. 
Searching will be arriving, and it will be nicer than it was before.

One neat feature is that all the archives are stored gzipped on disk.  If
you have a modern browser that has a built-in gzip decoder (Mozilla,
Konqueror, and IE all qualify), you should get great performance as the
archives will be transferred to you gzipped, all transparently.  For people
without that kind of software, I have written code to transparently
decompress the data before sending it to you.

The mailing list archives are accessible from any of the following URLs:

http://lists.complete.org/                       (preferred)
http://arch.freeciv.org/
http://www.complete.org/mailinglists/archives/

The listargate interface will be returning shortly as well.

Thanks,
John Goerzen
