[Data-modeling] Mailing lists now archived by MarkMail

[Kirrily Robert]

Markmail (http://markmail.org/) indexes mailing lists for open source and related projects.  They've just started indexing the Freebase mailing lists, which you can see if you go to the site and search for "freebase".  

It looks like they're only picking up new messages at the moment (see http://markmail.org/search/freebase%20list:com.freebase.developers for example) but I've swapped some email with the people who run it and they're going to try to grab our mailman/pipermail archives for older messages.

Markmail gives us way better search features than what we have currently (i.e. google +site:lists.freebase.com), and I really like the interface.  Take a look at what the O'Reilly Radar blog had to say about it: http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2008/01/markmail-provides-amazing-sear.html
