We are considering starting an archive for comp.sources.unix and
comp.sources.misc postings.

I have been very interested in the recent discussions in this group
about various archiving approaches.

As a first cut, I plan on writing a script that will break apart the BODY.TEXT
file into the individual postings.

A question comes to mind: how typically does one organize subsequent
related bug reports, patches, comments on experiences, discussions, etc.
that are posted in the comp.sources.bugs and comp.sources.d groups?
It would be nice to be able to "mate" applicable postings in these
groups to the originally posted source in some automated manner ...

Any pointers would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.
