[Bioc-devel] on the future of the searchable mail archives

[Istvan Albert]

Dear developers,

The searchable mail archives have been around for a year and a half now. 

http://files.protsuggest.org/cgi-bin/biocond.cgi

The site turned out to be a lot more popular than I anticipated, 
typically it gets around 15 thousand searches per month. Of course
these measures are very inaccurate but even third of that would be
more than what I originally expected.

For more logs see: http://protsuggest.org/logs/ (no other active
service is currenlty hosted on this server)

I have no problem with doing it in the foreseeble future since I've
already set it up in a way that it takes very little effort about 15
minutes a month ... even though  I currently do not need to use BioC
in my research.

But you might want to think about  establishing a more official and
better integrated search mechanism for  the BioC site and archives.

best,

Istvan.
