Re: [Mailman-Developers] any interest in a new built-in web-archive? (i.e. pipermail replacement)

That's awesome. Pipermail (in its current state) is ancient, and it shows. It's biggest flaw IMO is the lack of "stable URL" support, meaning if you regenerate the archive from the underlying mbox file, you'll likely break all your links. Pipermail has lots of other problems, but this one for example is why it was ditched for Launchpad. I think the time is ripe for new archivers, and Mailman 3's philosophy is to provide a framework in which developers can easily experiment with new archiver technology, integrated easily into Mailman. I personally think it would be best to spend effort on one of the many archiver projects being worked on, and mentioned here, rather than trying to improve Pipermail. One possible connection though would be to consider how a site would migrate from a Pipermail-based archiver to one of the new ones. Do you keep the old URLs alive but just not add anything new to Pipermail? Do you provide a mapping from Pipermail URLs to new-archiver URLs? etc. >I've written code for this a number of times (eGroups, Yahoo Groups, Google >Groups). I also released an open-source python/clearsilver/sqlite based >archiver with redundant text-eliding, a few different thread views, and >search...

Perhaps you'd like to contribute an implementation of the IArchiver interface in Mailman 3 that would send posted messages to ClearSilver?

I won't dictate what a new archiver should look like, but some principles that I personally think should be followed include: - Modern web technologies, with flexible templating, so that sites can customize the look and feel as needed. - JavaScript not required: an archiver should be navigable with a text-based simple browser, but that also doesn't mean it has to be feature-equivalent if you *do* have JavaScript. I think "progressive enhancement" is the right term? I.e. make it awesome for today's web, but usable in older browsers, screen readers (for accessibility), etc. - Dynamic generation of pages with caching. I'd love to see an enhanceable approach to the actual HTML generation. Let's say for example, that I suddenly want to recognize and hyperlink "bug numbers" so they point to my tracker. I should be able to drop in some extension to do that. Or maybe the spammers have cracked my email obfuscation algorithm. I should be able to drop in a replacement, invalidate the cache, and all my new page would automatically get the new obfuscation algorithm. - Separate, dynamic support for take down notices. You posted your personal information and have asked the site's postmasters to take that down (either the full message or the personal information parts of it). It should be really simple for the site admins to do this, while possibly retaining the original message in a publicly inaccessible location for forensic purposes. - Support for private archivers, so configurable authentication would be necessary. - Merging of forums, archives, newsgroups, and IMAP. - A REST API for querying information about the site, its lists, individual archived messages, metrics, etc. Maybe even some control (e.g. take downs) for users with the proper permissions. - Stable URLs, RFC 5064 + X-Message-ID-Hash. See the above links. If you can implement the `IArchiver.permalink()` method and ensure that even if completely wiped and regenerated from the underlying raw messages, your URLs will remain stable, I think you will have won. :) That's about all I can think of right now, but I'll say this: I think there's huge untapped value in a really great archiving framework. I have lots of ideas and it's something I'd like to work on eventually, once we get the core engine stable and released. Also, as you work on archivers and try to integrate them with mm3, please do provide feedback on the IArchiver API and the integration implementation in particular. What's missing? What's wrong with the API? Note too that atm, the lp:mailman bzr trunk is a bit ahead of 3.0b1 here. I had to disable some things at the last minute in the ArchiveRunner, and I've since fixed and pushed updates. So you probably want to at least take a look at the bzr branch. Cheers, -Barry

The API can only be accessed from localhost, so the setting has to be 'http://localhost:8001'. If you'd like to access postorius from a different machine as the one you're running it on, that's no problem: Just run the development server like this and you're good to go: python manage.py runserver 192.168.x.xxx:8000 (Don't do that on a machine that is exposed to the web though, since Django's dev server is not meant to be run in a production environment.)

I'm sure they'll be glad to talk with you. *laugh* Stephen, maybe I should have mentioned that I'm *also* a GSoC mentor (and one of several org admins) for Systers, and we are indeed doing some Mailman related projects this year. For the most part, I've kept the suggested projects separate on the respective GSoC 2012 projects page. Systers is the obvious candidate for some Mailman 3 related projects, specifically dynamic sublists (which was invented for Systers and I hope to have replace topics in Mailman 3) and some usability work I'd like done on the admin interface (Systers has an experienced usability expert on our mentoring team who's agreed to help if we can find the right student). And of course, Systers still has wishlists for their current custom install which is based on Mailman 2.1.10 and other organizational projects. There's a bit of a grey area where students could put in a submission under either Systers or Mailman, though. Archives work, for example, could probably go with either. I'm pretty much waiting to see and hoping we've got enough mentors to go around. Terri

If the number of sites that use pipermail is any indication, >I think failing to include something will basically mean lots of lists >without any archives. I think you're right. People want a turnkey solution - download one thing, run one command, and you've got everything you need. Of course, with mm2, you *don't* though because Pipermail never provided searching for example. There are lots of questions to ask about how we in the Mailman project would provide that kind of turnkey solution that includes our best-of-breed services. OTOH, it's also powerful to provide choice and not require any specific bits. My gut tells me that we're on the right track with Postorius, but that we're pretty far away from being able to bless an archiver right now. It's definitely not something I want to hold up the 3.0 final release for, so we have to find the right way to manage our users expectations. Understand though that we're constrained in other ways when we start thinking about bundling or officially blessing certain components. Mailman is a GNU project and the core's copyright has been owned by the FSF for over a decade. We require copyright assignments to the FSF. Postorius falls under the same administrative structure, so there's no problem calling it the official GNU Mailman web ui. A bless, bundled archiver will have to probably adhere to the same constraints, or at least we'd have to have that conversation with the FSF about it. But that absolutely shouldn't stop any other third party archiver from being Mailman 3 compatible. As I said, like the Python standard library, it's both a blessing and a curse. :) >As for the features it doesn't have from your list: Editing would be easy >to add because it's sqlite (deciding on the auth system is probably more of >an issue than the editing).

I'm a list owner and someone requests that a post containing private information be taken down. As a drive-by archive user, I want to request that a message get sent to me so that I can reply to it in my mail reader as if I had received the original.

Of course without that, nothing would get archived, but it's not the interesting bit from your perspective. :) (I know that figuring out the configuration ini-file stack can be a little confusing; we need better/more docs!) So, every archiver that Mailman knows about will have a section such as [archiver.<name>] where <name> can currently be mhonarc, mail_archive, or prototype. It shouldn't be difficult to add new archivers by doing something like this in your mailman.cfg file: [archiver.hyperkitty] class: sys.path.to.my.module.HyperKittyClass enable: yes It's the 'enable' variable that defines whether the archiver is enabled system-wide or not. This is documented in schema.cfg (think: the bottom rung of the ini-stack, although it's slightly different than mailman.cfg). (Aside: I think I need to start a YouTube channel on mm3 :). The template for archiver sections is the [archiver.master] section in the schema.cfg. You'll see all the standard configuration variables defined there, with their default values. These are all site-wide configurations which define, enable, and configure the various archivers available to the system. Mailing lists themselves have a more limited palette (currently) for configuring their archiving behavior. There are two list-specific values: - IMailingList.archive is a boolean which determines whether the list will archive its messages at all or not. The default list style sets this to true. - IMailingList.archive_private is a boolean only consulted in the mail_archive archiver. If this is true, then it will not email messages to that service. I've thought about giving more control to individual lists, but I'm not sure how much value there is in allowing a list owner to e.g. decide which of the set of enabled archivers their messages get forwarded to. >> archivers are configured site-wide, so there's almost nothing >> to expose in the web-ui. > >I'm worried about confusion. The last thing we want is for a list to be >accidentally archived contrary to the list administrator's wish. It sounds >scary to me not to have any indication whatsoever in the web >interface. Ah, sorry, yes the two booleans above should be exposed in the REST API. https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/967238 I've marked it 'easy' and I think it would be. I'm not sure whether you're asking if the ini-file settings should be exposed in the REST API. I'm much less certain about that. I think it wouldn't be difficult to expose them read-only, but I'm hesitant to let REST clients change mailman.cfg variables, especially because having them take effect would require a restart. >Along similar lines, there seems opportunity for confusion if there are >two independent mechanisms for archival; site wide configuration and >also manually subscribing an archival subscriber such as >archive(a)mail-archive.com.

The mail-archive implementation of IArchiver does just email the address specified in [archiver.mail_archive]recipient, but it won't do this if the mailing list's .archive_private setting is True. Suggestions for better integration are welcome. >Finally, it sounds like there are architectural reasons for having >archiving a site-wide configuration.

mailman / archive-ui / licensing questions
by David Jeske 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Thanks for the super-detailed replies... I'm separating these discussions, so here I have some questions about licensing and bundling.. > So in some sense, CSLA needn't become *the* Mailman archiver, but it should > definitely be *a* Mailman archiver. Then you can make all the engineering > and > design decisions you prefer, but with the confidence that it will Just Work > with Mailman 3. Sure but this isn't why I'm here. CSLA is already *a* mailman archiver..I think we first released it in 2004. A few of us ex-egroups folks hacked it out because we used it for private projects. We open-sourced it so we could use it across organizational boundaries and because we were happy to give it away to anyone who wanted it. We're just all primarily focused on startup and commercial endeavors, so we havn't done much to package and popularize it. Right now I'm in between entrepreneural endeavors and spending some time 'giving back' and coding/donating-to/helping several open-source projects. As I engage with these projects, all of them are using Mailman, which is fantastic. However, nearly all of them are also using pipermail, which is not so great. They are using it because it's the default, so it was easy. I started to talk to one of them about installing CSLA (or MHonArc, or anything really), and realized I should see if you folks are interested in a great bundled archiver, to fix the problem at the source. I'm not particularly interested in promoting or maintaining an open-source project around this, so if you folks don't want a shiny new (S-BSD licensed) archiver to bundle, I'll probably just fix a few things, bump the CSLA archiver to 0.3 and move on. --- I admit that even with a pretty good knowledge of these many licenses, I'm not familiar with the intracacies of FSF copyright assignment and non-GPL free licenses. The ClearsilverArchiver code (written by me and two others) is released under the "Simplified BSD" license and "totally free". It's important to me that any code I release be similarly free-and-unrestricted (i.e. BSD/Python/Artistic/PublicDomain), not free under certain conditions (i.e. GPL/LGPL). It's not possible to assert GPL restrictions on totally-free code, because it's already totally free. FSF says S-BSD is GPL-Compatible, which I believe means they are saying they have no problem with GPL code depending on and being combined with (i.e. linked with) S-BSD code, because the S-BSD code is fully open-source and does not put restrictions on the use of the GPL code. It's also my understanding that the primary reason for FSF copyright assignment is to provide a coherent entity to enforce the terms of the GPL by challenging violators who don't redistribute source.... something which is not necessary for S-BSD. (Though I suppose they could enforce that folks include the S-BSD copyright notices.) So I guess this all drives to the following question: Is Mailman-team is interested in having a better built-in archiver that is included in the distribution, but licensed under the less-restrictive S-BSD terms? Sorry for the length. This license stuff can be complicated. -- On a weirdly unrelated coincidence, thanks for smtpd.py. I just hacked it into smtp-to-maildir for a "private hosted webmail" installation. We were migrating code/data to some new machines and smtpd.py seemed simpler than fighting with qmail-installation or configuring postfix to "accept everything" (something it doesn't seem designed to do). > But that absolutely shouldn't stop any other third party archiver from being > Mailman 3 compatible. > > As I said, like the Python standard library, it's both a blessing and a > curse. :) > > >As for the features it doesn't have from your list: Editing would be easy > >to add because it's sqlite (deciding on the auth system is probably more of > >an issue than the editing).

It might involve working on a couple of different ends of the mailman family, like the django web ui (launchpad.net/postorius), the archiver/searcher (see "hyperkitty" - Toshio Kuratomi probably has more details) and maybe even the Mailman3 core (see: launchpad.net/mailman). > In general, I think profiles should have the really straightforward > information: last time they started a conversation, last time they sent an > email to the list, when did they sign up, what time of the day are they > more active, etc. But it should be fairly easy to add cool stuff like, in > case a list allows the use of more than one language, the language the user > uses the most and maybe even percentages of usage, and with some > information retrieval we could get keywords to know what they like to talk > about the most.

I think a good place to start would be to install mailman and postorius and have a look at the code. Also, Toshio could probably tell you a little bit more about the current work on the archiver. You can also find us on irc (#mailman on freenode, my handle is florianf, Toshio's is abadger1999) if you run into problems or have any questions. Florian

There is a sample archiver in mailman core -- if enabled, it stores the messages to lists in maildirs. It does not have a frontend for retrieving or otherwise displaying the archives. In some of the other threads here, it was brought up that a builtin archiver with the same feature set of pipermail could be desirable. If you're interested in integrating search into mailman I'd watch (and participate!) in that thread to see what the outcome of that discussion is. -Toshio
