It's not, because it's supposed to be just for people with accounts on kernel.org and for things like maintenance and service outage notifications. However, discussions routinely veer into various directions, as one would expect. > A client-side tool is likely required anyways, I'm thinking > having saved search functionality in a local tool writing to > Maildir/mbox might be the best way forward as w.r.t. scalability > and offline access (and reading + saving flags from the > Maildir/mbox). > > External/detached index I'm working on for global search will > also be appropriate for client-side tooling, I think, as it's > being designed with non-public-inbox data sources in mind, too. Instead of a "client-side" can it just be an intermediary tool that can run either on the client, or on any other piece of infrastructure? The main reason I'm interested in that is because several people I know use very thin clients for their work (chromebooks) and I would like to offer them this service as a perk of kernel.org instead of forcing them to set it up and maintain on their own. -K
