> 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.
