[Paddlewise] Archiving

 " Steve Scherrer's request for info regarding sources for footpumps got
me thinking about creating some kind of archive system for Paddlewise
messages.  Does anyone out there do already do this?  Sure, a goodly
percentage of the messages here are just friendly banter and probably
aren't worth keeping, but there's also a lot of good info that seems
like a shame to lose (well, maybe it's just a problem with my brain, but
I can't keep track of all of the good stuff).  Any thoughts? (or just
not worth thinking about<g>)

Dave, I second this idea.  Some previously discussed questions do keep
resurfacing, especially as new people join Paddlewise.  Archives of threads
might be especially helpful if they could be set up on the webpage.
  For some time now I have saved some of the thread messages to folders on
my e-mail desktop (examples--Navigation, Paddling Safety, Gear, Boats,
etc.).  I could drop those back into an archiving system, and probably some
other folks could do likewise.
	Does anyone have a good approach to setting this up without putting a
maintenance burden on someone?
