[Bigbang-dev] new IETF email archive system

[Nick Doty]

IETF is in the process of switching to a different email archive system:
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg103690.html <https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg103690.html>

> We are not going to make this transition immediately, but
> we do plan to make it more in the near future than the far
> future. Please help us identify any additional things we can
> do to minimize the disruption to your current workflow.

As you might expect, there are a lot of responses on that thread about how users like the old-fashioned static mail archive system and don't want to see it go away, so I'm not sure when those next steps will happen.

Currently, BigBang doesn't handle the new mailarchive system. I'm not sure, but it looks like the new system is custom software developed just for these IETF archives, rather than something that will be generally applicable. Should we start work on a new crawler for this IETF software? Or are there likely to be .mbox or other archives we can get directly without scraping message by message?
