I noticed that the Yahoo archive of the Squeak mailing list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/squeak/) has been trimmed so that everything before December 2001 seemingly is no longer accessible.
Does anyone know why this happened, and how we can get the history restored, and how we can avoid this happening again in the future?
The best would be not to rely on yahoo for the archive. There is a nice archive at the squeakfoundation site: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/
This is even nicely searchable with google. (if you add "site:lists.squeakfoundation.org" the query gets restricted to the list-archives). Of course it takes some weeks for google to index the latest posts.
The problem is that the archive contains only posts starting from 6/2001.
We should really try to have a *complete* archive of the Squeak Mailinglist... did anyone save all messages? I have archived all incoming email starting from sometime in 1999, I could dig out all Squak-dev messages from that point on. But it would be interesting to have all the older posts, too.
