Re: Yahoogroups is closing down

So, in the end I found out that:

1. vim-dev is there as well (I had not found it because it was called
vimdev...), at both
https://archive.org/details/yahoo-groups-2015-10-24T23-04-12Z-gm7ncb and
https://archive.org/details/yahoo-groups-2015-10-25T04-07-44Z-dgj61p .

2. It looks like the messages are indeed included

3. All these files, which are in WARC format, are actually temporary,
the project is still in progress and they plan to upload some time in
the future versions a-la-mbox that ought to be easy to import in any
mail client; so, if anyone is interested he should check back
https://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Yahoo!_Groups in a few months
(it currently doesn't provide up-to-date information). Or ask at
https://webirc.hackint.org/#irc://irc.hackint.org/#yahoosucks for the
current status.

4. In case someone is still eager to search in the current WARC archives
(for whatever reason), all the most recent ones (all those starting with
"A", at
"https://archive.org/details/archiveteam_yahoogroups?and[]=&sin=&and[]=firstTitle%3AA&sort=-publicdate"
) do not include a summary of the groups they contain, so they are a lot
harder to search. If someone really wants to do it, if you extract the
https://archive.org/details/archiveteam_yahoogroups_* links included in
that page you can quickly download indexes of what urls they refer to at
https://archive.org/download/<archive>/<archive>.cdx.idx , where
<archive> is the "archiveteam_yahoogroups_*" part of the aforementioned
links.

5. For various reasons a provisionary version of the archive for vimdev
(in mbox format) has already been uploaded, at
https://mega.nz/file/VU0kBJYA#E61iJlBRwzJorqadNYeh5DajkNm61wYH-2U-GJW86DQ
. It will probably stay there only for a month or so though.

Gabriele
