True, this does all take time. When I rebuilt the BLU server, I had 
explicitly set aside enough cash for a few months' sabbatical to
work on the project full-time, and I built and tested everything on a 
spare box at home before we acquired the hardware for the new server.

As for consolidating the gnhlug list archives, anyone willing to volunteer 
the time could do this on their home machine, after which a complete mbox 
archive could be kept on hand, ready to import when the server issues 
stabilize
in the future. You could split the effort among several volunteers, perhaps
one volunteer per year of messages, for example.

   Some people say, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
   I often respond, "When elephants fight, it's the grass
   that gets trampled."
