Hello,
I was wondering if someone (IAB, IESG, wg chairs, whomever) could
strongly encourage the folks that maintain archives to provide them
as a series (volumes), as opposed to a single clump/file. Some
archivists do provide a more structured breakdown based on month/year.
However, others have simply a single large file (I just downloaded one
that has its first entry dated June of 1987)
####
Thankfully, my ISP connectivity is large enough not to worry about the
time to download, but there are significant numbers of people either
behind 56/28.8k modems or behind satcom links where large file transfers
can be problematic.
I deeply appreciate the time & resources used to archive working group
mailing lists, but it would be very helpful if these folks could add
some structure to the archive.
cheers,
-ken
