Just dump the list archive to DVD in text format, by month/year It would be cool to filter it and have it nicely categorized, but that would be a 'labor of love' and defnitely a long drawn out and difficult undertaking. Most modern OS'es have search and indexing capabilities that are quite good. If files are already in categories/folders, you could run something like "BloxSom" which on the surface looks like a 'weblog' but in reality could be used as an effective 'personal hierarchy' browser. (see the link below) http://www.blosxom.com/documentation/users/view.html#time I've got some resources to take a stab at it but dont want to hammer the server (gerry.vanagon.com) to download the whole thing. If this sounds interesting, then let me know. thanks in advance.. -tim |
