Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Make users list readonly?

It has a user subscribed to the list who receives the emails in its inbox (that’s how gmane works for ex).

From http://lucene.markmail.org/docs/faq.xqy: “ How do you load the emails? A Java program converts email to XML and loads them into MarkLogic Server. The program can load emails from an mbox archive or catch new emails as they come across the wire. We subscribe a user to each archived list in order to receive the new messages.

It makes a bit harder for users to search in one place but quickly over time it’ll be ok. It’ll also be a bit harder for stats but I guess we can handle that too… >> >> Thanks >> -Vincent >> >>> >>>>> >>>>> Thanks, >>>>> Eduard >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> On Thu, Jun 22, 2017 at 3:36 PM, Vincent Massol &lt;vincent(a)massol.net&gt; wrote: >>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>>> On 22 Jun 2017, at 14:35, Vincent Massol &lt;vincent(a)massol.net&gt; wrote: >>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>>> On 22 Jun 2017, at 14:09, Eduard Moraru &lt;enygma2002(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> Guys, I thought we were going to make the users list read-only, not >>>>>> disable >>>>>>>> it completely.
