开云体育

Hello

?

I'm new on this mailing list, so if I'm in the wrong place asking this, a pointer to the right place will be appreciated.

?

I'm part of the OS/2 Warp community. Since Yahoo Groups went down, we started to use Groups.IO without any issue.

We had a lot of useful material on the Yahoo Groups discussion that . But this backup is just plain text and it is not simple for people to search on that discussions or even be indexed by Google.

?

My question, is there any way, or experience on migrating this Yahoo Groups backup text backup into 开云体育? The idea will be to create a read only group to show the messages in an organized way and that can be searchable.

?

If 开云体育 is not the ideal place to put this backups, is there any other suggestion?

Regards

Martin

If it were me, I'd probably create PDF files.? Then the reader could be used to search for information, as well as easily downloaded by members.

This topic is discussing a Yahoo Groups archive (see subject line).

...why does not provide a way to restore from an archive??

If you're talking about a groups.io archive, I don't know.

-- Perhaps it's just difficult to code and he hasn't bothered to write a script to make it happen.

-- Perhaps Mark wants to keep such functionality in reserve to provide additional cash flow for himself.

-- Perhaps a backup could fall into the wrong hands and thereby allow someone to steal someone else's group (or abuse in some other manner).

We can only speculate.

Thanks. Creating PDFs is an alternative.

But I'm open for more alternatives on how to organize the Yahoo Groups backup in a way that are searchable for the public. Preferable if those can be imported to a 开云体育 group.

Interesting that archive.org was able to scrape some of these groups and retrieve messages with full email addresses. I thought you had to be a group admin to do that.

But this backup is just plain text and it is not simple for people to search on that discussions or even be indexed by Google.

The archive I just downloaded contained content from 41 separate OS/2-related groups. Of those that archive.org was able to get any messages, they seem to be in mbox format, and some of the messages within are in html.?

You might try posting a private message to Mark Fletcher ([email protected]). In the past, he has been willing to manually import such files in exchange for a year of Premium ($220 per group).

You could try also using Lena's Perl script (/g/GroupManagersForum/message/22251) to re-post the messages to a group or subgroup. The script itself is available at /g/GroupManagersForum/files/ioimport.zip That approach would be free, but it runs at 40 messages/hour, and I have never been able to get it to work. I didn't try very hard, though.

?

See also /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/15860 . Some of the info therein is out of date.

Thanks. I hoped it was possible, but wanted to confirm.
