Re: Yahoogroups is closing down

There was/is an effort to archive everything at
https://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Yahoo!_Groups .
What has already been archived seems to be all at
https://archive.org/details/archiveteam_yahoogroups .

I wasn't able to find descriptions of the structure of the archives, but
it would seem that each has only certain groups.
And, good news, I found one that seems to include vim:
https://archive.org/details/yahoo-groups-2015-10-25T18-36-04Z-v0n5bq .
I's 1GB of stuff, I haven't been able to verify it yet but there seems
to be a good chance that it contains all the vim and vimannounce messages.
Unfortunately instead I wasn't able to find (with the archive.org search
function) any archive with vim-dev.
However there are ones for:
vim-mac:
https://archive.org/details/yahoo-groups-2016-06-08T00-19-42Z-658ea9
vim-multibyte:
https://archive.org/details/yahoo-groups-2016-05-08T09-48-08Z-ae4c80
vim-fr: https://archive.org/details/yahoo-groups-2016-05-03T19-53-03Z-e129ee

From a quick read of archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Yahoo!_Groups it
would seem that the yahoo apis and features to easily bulk-retrieve the
messages have already been shut down.

Gabriele
