[okfn-discuss] Community Integration?

Thu Oct 9 08:34:32 UTC 2014

Something we've done in the Personal Data and Privacy working group is to
keep an eye on other public OK mailing lists to see when certain keywords
pop up (e.g. 'anonymity', 'privacy'). You could do this by periodically
downloading a dump of all the mailing lists at
https://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ and doing a keyword search. I also wrote
a little python script to do this - it searches all (or a subset of) the
lists, returns a page of links to publicly archived messages containing
given keywords - https://github.com/RDBinns/okfn-mail-search
