google-searchable as well and I really don't see the point in barring Google
from our own archive.
Then our mailinglists should already be accessible through Google via 'nabble,
gmane etc.', no?
If I am very honest, I do not even remember anymore,
why we decided to bar
Google from
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail.
Was it due to privacy concerns? If so, which, and why is
lists.wikimedia.orgas an archive different from Nabble/Gmane?
I remember some cases where people got in really serious trouble due to their
discussions on a mailing list, for example when the employer googled their name
and found obscenities.
It just caused much work for admins to remove single mails from the archives.
