2015-09-01implement per-thread Atom feeds
This allows users to subscribe to only a single thread with their feed reader without subscribing to the rest of the thread. Update our endpoint notes while we're at it.
2015-08-23.txt links return an mbox instead
This improves compatibility and allows individual messages to be concatenated into an existing mbox without further modifications. "git format-patch" does something similar (but does not do "From " line escaping(!))
2015-08-20misc documentation updates
Threading in Xapian is mostly supported by now; so start documenting things.
2015-08-20replace references to lynx
Table rendering in lynx is crap compared to w3m and links. However, we still use it for filtering HTML since the renderer is otherwise nice...
2015-02-09doc/design_www: remove item for auto-generated links
SpamAssassin queries URI blacklists, so it's probably OK to start generating links in the future...
2014-12-22doc: generate README.html instead of index.html
This allows us to generate links without caring about discoverability and remains reasonably WYSIWYG for folks editing our documentation in their favorite $EDITOR
2014-12-22Documentation/txt2pre: support #fragments and ftp://
Occasionally we'll use these for links.
2014-10-05doc: add TODO to the website
2014-07-02doc/dc-dlvr-spam-flow: link to ssoma, too
Some readers may not be familiar with ssoma internals such as ssoma-rm.
2014-07-02doc/dc-dlvr-spam-flow: include links to relevant projects
Some of these projects are not well known, so link to them to help new users.
2014-07-02doc: remove HTML
Even with txt2pre, the maintenance/discoverability burden is too high and lynx still uses too much memory. Unfortunately, we'll have to keep our INSTALL.html for a while longer on the server since it's linked, but not index.html!
2014-04-26huge refactor of encoding handling
Hopefully this simplifies and corrects our usage of Perl encoding APIs.
2014-04-22fix quoted URL generation in feeds
While we're at it, make sure strange characters are escaped properly in Message-IDs. We'll need tests for all this behavior.
2014-04-21feed: there is only one atom feed, with all messages
This is not a blog. All posts, whether replies or not, carry equal weight.
2014-04-21doc: update design_www and add HACKING file
Document some of the stranger choices I've made.
2014-04-21scripts/dc-dlvr: allow exiting from ~/.dc-dlvr.pre
The ~/.dc-dlvr.pre script for my public-inbox user does this.
2014-04-20use ORIGINAL_RECIPIENT once again
It should be common for a single users to be subscribed to multiple addresses/lists, so we must use the address before alias expansion. This partially reverts commit b949afc9edf89dd494cac6255c78b124d58e11a5
2014-04-19various documentation updates
We have an HTML homepage, OMG!
2014-04-19mda: rename PI_FAILBOX to PI_EMERGENCY
The emergency destination may be Maildir. A Maildir emergency destination is better for volatile data which is written to and deleted-from frequently.
2014-04-19cgi: index pages allow iterating some pagination
This allows WWW readers to slowly page through the entire history of the mailing list.
2014-04-15doc: add notes on scalability
Fortunately, most mailing lists will never grow too large.
2014-04-14doc: fold philosophy into the README
Hopefully this makes the scope and intent of the project clearer.
2014-04-11Documentation/design_notes: more updates
Laziness \o/ (Then impatience and hubris :)
2014-04-10doc/design_www: add 301 URLs
We'll probably support these so they're easier-to-type and share.
2014-04-10cgi: wire up index + tests
Remove the specified /all.html while we're at it, we only have /all.atom.xml because it's convenient for feed readers.
2014-04-09doc/design_www: shorten URLs as much as possible
Message-IDs are extremely long already, so try to keep them short here.
2014-04-09doc: split out philosophy to a different page
Hopefully a little easier to find for clients and not admins running servers. While we're at it, expand design_notes.
2014-04-08design_notes: various updates, including "why git?"
Things to keep in mind when working on this.
2014-04-08doc: various cleanups all around
Most notably, the INSTALL is geared towards potential server admins, whereas the README is also for interested "drive-by" readers.
2014-04-06doc: design_www note /full/ namespace for messages
We serve the short, abridge-quote version by default since it is (unfortunately) common practice to over-quote on mailing lists.
2014-04-05public-inbox-mda: preliminary manpage documentation
This still needs to be fleshed out.
2014-04-05doc: add design documentation for WWW interface
Mainly, start with URL routes since that's what users usually see, first.
2014-03-31design_notes: with philosophy
