I'm (finally!) revisiting the question of archiving for Mailman.
There are two additional config parameters that seem to be needed.
First, I need to know into what directory to write the formatted HTML files, both public and private. The private files shouldn't go into the actual Web tree, since they'll be accessed via the 'private' CGI script. Either there should be a parameter in mm_defaults/mm_cfg to specify the ARCHIVE_HTML_ROOT, or we could always write them into the Mailman tree somewhere -- say, ${prefix}/pipermail/html or /formatted or whatever. The second course would then require configuring the Web server to map your desired public archive URL to the root of the public tree, and the private archives to the CGI script.
Second, I need to know what URL to use to access the public archives. (The private archives should be accessed via the 'private' CGI script.)
Suggestions?

I'm for making it specifiable via a config variable. That way, large sites could put the archives on a separate partition from the mailman installation.

how about http://HOST/mailman/archives/listname ? shouldn't this access both the private and the public archives?
