Subject: CRYONICS WAIS server for cryonet archives, anyone?
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 92 12:48:17 -0400
From: 

Several times while working on the FAQ I wished there was a WAIS
server for cryonics mailing list archives.  "WAIS" stands for "Wide
Area Information Service".  The server basically would allow anyone
with an internet connection to do keyword searches through the cryonics
mailing list archives.  Setting it up would require a machine on the
internet, 20 MB or so of disk space, and some hacking to cause new
cryonics mailing list messages to be automatically added.  Is anyone
interested in doing this?

[ That sounds like a good idea.  I would expect the WAIS server user
  interface to be more slick than the crude-but-functional CRYOMSG
  mechanism I hacked together, too. - KQB ]
