Currently
https://lists.wikimedia.org/robots.txt bans indexing the
public archives of this list (at
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/ )
Appearently this happened back in 2005 due to some people complaining
about their posts on some lists (not neccesarily this one) being at
the top of google.
I think its kind of rediculous the tech support list for mediawiki not
indexable by google*. The first step for anyone trying to solve their
problem should be to google it but yet we don't let google show
results from this list.
Its my understanding that if a list want to be indexed by google, that
the config would be changed for lists that request it.
Thus, I would like to formerly propose that mediawiki-l be allowed to
be indexed by google et al.
Thoughts? Objections?
