We don't seem to be very good at communicating. :-) You kind of reverted the conversion that Leah did to get what i sent to her into the format she needed for vuxu.org. No matter, the double conversion appears to have worked. > Done, they're now available: > > https://marc.info/?l=mandoc-discuss > https://marc.info/?l=mandoc-source > https://marc.info/?l=mandoc-tech Thanks. I have added marc.info to https://mandoc.bsd.lv/contact.html in addition to vuxu.org. Not because i consider one or the other better or more important, but merely for two simple reasons: * Both show the the same content in different style. Some users may like one better, some the other, as a matter of personal taste, so to have both can be convenient. Vuxu.org appears to have more features, marc.info appears to have a leaner user interface that may feel more familiar to some. * Having links to both may also be helpful during times when there happen to be certain kinds of network disruptions. > Thanks again to Leah Neukirchen for inbox.vuxu.org, which allowed me to > fetch and import the existing archives easily. > > I could not decide what existing list-group in MARC the mandoc lists > ought to be categorized under, after thinking deeply about the question > for about 20 seconds. Do you have any suggestions? Among those categories that you have, i agree that the "Misc" category you picked fits best. You don't appear to have anything like "text processing", "typography", "printing", "documentation", "editing" or similar, and i'm not sure it would be warranted to introduce any such category just for mandoc, unless you have lots of other stuff that you would also want to move there. One thing i'm wondering about, though: looking through the https://marc.info/ start page, i can't seem to find the string "mandoc". But using the search box at the top, the mandoc lists do show up.
