E-Democracy.org is look for an option to essentially convert our database
driven https://forums.e-democracy.org site into a static archive.
The open source GroupServer tool and host we use is sunsetting.
This would sort be like our own WayBackMachine ... with I assume hundreds
of thousands public civic online group messages.
We are also looking to figure out a way to convert the postgres message
database into mbox files that could be in theory imported into Mailman,
etc. for our still active groups.
For reference, E-Democracy was the original election information site back
in 1994 and host of an ongoing online town hall format (that figured out a
process to dealing with civility and rumourmongering before Facebook even
started.)
Thanks,
Steven Clift
