Hi and sorry for posting off topic The person behind the searchable BioC archives has unfortunatly decided to shut down his service, because of lack of reponse by the core BioC commuity. I find this very unfortunate and hope a similar service pops up. I have found the searchable archives very helpfull in learning bioconductor packages, finding help and has lowered the steep R learning curve. Im sorry to se the searchable archives shut down, but thanks for making it in the first place. It centenly helped me alot regards morten

Dear BioC, Searchable Archives helped me in troubleshooting and understading many problems of BioC packages. This service is amazing for open source and open development software project. I like to think this service as "BioC InfoSquare". I have found the searchable archives very helpfull and I would like to see the searchable archives continued.

I often wondered why does BioConductor and R-help searchable archives are provided by different people (namely Robert King, Jonathan Baron and Istvan Albert) when the archives themselves are hosted by Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (thanks to Martin Maechler). I did bit of googling and found that mailman itself (with a few hacks) might have a built-in searching facility. Here is a thread from 2001 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman- users/2001-October/014338.html Now the question is why is this feature enabled with R-help and BioC-help ? Is it a tricky hack or search function does not work properly or did I simply misunderstand the thread above ? Thank you. Regards, Adai On Tue, 2006-03-21 at 17:07 -0500, Saurin D.

Hi all, Apologies for the confusion regarding a searchable mail archive. We realize this is a critical resource. I'd like to point out that you can search the Bioc list using GMANE. We should have had a link to it on the webpage, sorry about that. I will make sure one gets added tomorrow. http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.informatics.conductor Please give this a try and let us know if this interface satisfies your search needs. If not, we will find an alternative solution. + seth

I tried a couple of searches and it seems to be OK. --Naomi At 08:43 PM 3/21/2006, Seth Falcon wrote: >Hi all, > >Apologies for the confusion regarding a searchable mail archive.

Hi Seth, I tried the GMANE searchable mail archive. There doesn't seem to be any threads to follow. I would guess that this missing feature would limit GMANE's usefulness.

Please try: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.informatics.conductor And there is a search box at the bottom in *green*. + seth
