In the spirit of decentralization, there may not be /a/ homepage, but many. Everything is meant to clonable with each public-inbox, so maybe every public-inbox will have a code branch attached to it with the source+docs bundled. At least for now, other pages are more easily discoverable[1] but one day I hope to have repobrowse[2] running there (and maybe everywhere). For now, I am prioritizing user/admin/hacker documentation so more instances can exist. I'll probably get some online help stuff up tomorrow. [1] at least the top-level of public-inbox.org already has more content than both YHBT.net and bogomips.org combined :) [2] git clone -b repobrowse https://public-inbox.org/ ...

It'd be nice if it had a prominent list of all lists available; as far as I can tell, the main page has no link to /git/. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I'm not sure that's necessary; most of the traffic seems to come from /git/MESSAGE_ID/ links posted by others. So it's probably more inside-out exposure than anything. As for other projects, I'm not aware of anybody else using it, yet. I have some small projects using it, but most of those are one-off throwaways and I'm not comfortable promoting those along with public-inbox. I admit: I'm not comfortable promoting anything I do, really. I do wish more people would start using the .onions, though... ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I'd love to see the public-inbox equivalent to the main page of https://lists.debian.org/ , as an example.

Just pushed out some POD (which should build to manpages), so maybe early adopters can start hosting mirrors themselves(*). https://public-inbox.org/meta/20160907004907.1479-1-e@80x24.org/ I hope public-inbox-overview(7) is a good starting point (along with the existing INSTALL) and there'll be more docs coming at some point... Writing documentation tends to make my attention span drift all over the place; so maybe parts don't make sense or were glossed over, but I'll be glad to help clarify anything. (Responding to emails is generally easier for me since I can answer things specifically, tough to do for generic docs) I'll try to get a tarball release out soonish, but my schedule is unpredictable. (*) None of the code has had any security audit, yet; and there's no warranty of course. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
