Note: I keep calling this the List Syndication Service, but it's actually the List *Summary* Service :) Syndicated summaries....
Just a note that I posted summaries of October's Foundation-L archives, in two parts: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LSS/foundation-l-archives
And did the last two weeks of wikien-L, while I was at it. Wiki-en was harder, since discussions are a bit more diffuse, people don't seem to change their subjects when the topic changes as often, and I haven't been following it myself as closely. Let me know what you think, though. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LSS/wikiEN-l-archives/2008_11_01-15
This is probably as far back in the archives as I'll go, but I'll try to keep up with it in future. -- Phoebe

Hi ya'll,
You may remember way that back in mid-2006 user:Improv started up the List Syndication Service: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LSS
This was an ongoing weekly summary of the mailing lists, particularly Foundation-L. It was carried on for a good while by Improv and was then taken on by BirgetteSB, but was dropped in early 2007 and not picked back up.
I always thought this was a great idea that should be continued. And so finally, I've taken a stab at recreating and rebooting LSS: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LSS/foundation-l-archives/2008_November_2-15
This update covers from November 2-15 (two weeks, Sun. to Sat.) of Foundation-L. I've made some changes from previous summarizers:
- summary by topic, not date; related threads grouped together
- no attempt to read and distill the content of posts -- instead
simply noting what topics were discussed. It was the heavy burden of reading and understanding all the (quite complex) threads on the lists that I believe led previous summarizers to burn out. For this summary, if you want to know more, you have to read the threads yourself.
I hope that this will prove helpful in pointing out *what* was discussed, particularly for people who don't have time to read the whole list, even if the substance isn't there.
I make no promises, but will attempt to keep up with foundation-l for a while. Suggestions, feedback, helpers, etc. all welcome.
best, -- phoebe
