Dear Jimmy Wales,
Could you ask those in charge to make the
wikimedia.org mailing lists
searchable again?
There may be good reasons why they aren't,
but of course one cannot find them,
because they are not searchable!
Thanks.
The reason were people posting private data to the mailing list, then
annoying sysadmins to remove then when finding about them on Google.
False. The reason is that people can post entirely reasonable things on
these lists and employers can then be hyper-discriminative about their
personal interests and choose not to hire them, or to fire them.
