Baker says, "The LWGate is a CGI script, written in Perl, which tries to merge the technologies of the WWW and mailing lists by: presenting information about mailing lists to WWW users; assisting users in executing mailing list commands though a user-friendly forms based interface; and automatically generating a hypertext interface, on-the-fly, to list archives available on the local server. With the LWGate, people browsing the WWW can read a description of a mailing list, subscribe to a list, easily search a list's message archives, browse the archives in a hypertext format, search for other mailing lists, and much more." |
