Hello,
A few days back we published a complete archive of all the PHP mailing lists from their inception. I built the archive in my spare time because I couldn't seem to make the MARC one work too well for my needs, and also because I thought a few more features could be added to it to make it more efficient.
The archive includes a number of "neat" features, like automatic threading, full-text search, keyword highlighting and quoted-text indentation and coloring. We keep this up-to-date hourly, and we have taken whatever steps we could to protect the system from e-mail address harvesting (while still making the links workable from a normal browser). You can find it at http://www.phparch.com/mailinglists.
I sent an e-mail to php.general a couple of days ago, and the members of the list seem to also think that the archive works well and could be a valuable resource--here's the discussion thread (of course, from the archive itself!):

I was wondering if you think this would warrant a small news item on php.net, something like this:

New Searchable php.net Mailing List Archives
<a href="http://www.phparch.com/mailinglists">A complete <i>searchable</i> archive</a> of all the php.net mailing lists is now available. The archive is updated hourly and provides features, such as full-text search, automatic message threading, keyword highlighting and quoted text colouring, that should make it easier to find relevant information in the lists.

Also, I was wondering whether perhaps you could add a link to the archive in the php.net mailing list page (http://www.php.net/mailing-lists.php).
Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Marco
