I think it's kind of ironic that the procmail faq page's link to submit
changes or requests has been turned off, as if procmail was not up to
the task of dealing with those submissions.
I think the offer of unix.com to host a cookbook was a good idea. The
only nice thing I can say about the procmail archive page is that it has
the best search engine I've seen on an archive. But as an archive it is
still a pain because you're forced to sift through a bunch of messages
that have the desired keyword to see if they *happen* to actually
address the problem.
Why not have a website that warehouses recipes, along with registered
users' ratings (and perhaps comments, which are also rated, perhaps sort
of like slashdot, so you can set a threshhold and not have to read a
hundred messages to get the handful of good ideas)? Perhaps ratings are
themselves weighted, either by metamoderating, guru-level, or some
clever heuristic that figures out who tends to agree with you.
Then you write a procmail recipe for this mailing list, and if the
person hasn't ever posted, it runs a turing machine that searches the
cookbook site and sends them a list of recipes that might answer their
question. :o)
