[sdiy] PSA: Archives for Yahoo Groups

[Ben Stuyts]

Hello,

Last year, Yahoo started shutting down their Yahoo!Groups service. Most functionality, including archives, was lost. On 15 December 2020 they will shut down completely. I took a snapshot of several archives last year and am putting them up on the synth-diy server.

I have put up a first draft of the archive for the old Yahoo!Groups Chroma Polaris mailing list. You can find it here: https://synth-diy.org/yg-archives

More synth-related archives will follow. Currently only the email archive is converted, but we’re working on the other features (files, etc). Many thanks to Florian in providing the tools for converting the backup to readable html.

Let us know what you think!

Please get in touch if you have any relevant archives that you would like to host here.
