Package: lists.debian.org Severity: wishlist
This is occurred to me while searching the archives via google, and it applies to all search engines that spider lists.debian.org A large number of entries in the google results from the list are useless because they are the 'debian-user Jun 2006 by thread/author/whatever' monthly summaries. Because each monthly summary is simply a list of the thread titles, it leads to false hits for the search keywords, for instance 'dvd mplayer menu' hits all the monthly summaries, even when there isn't actually a msg referencing dvds and menus and mplayer. Judicious use of the robots.txt file on the mail archive server would be a simple way to remove the summaries from the search engines, for instance something like: Disallow: /**/threads.html in the robots.txt file in the root of the website would probably do it.
