KernelTrap has been updated to Drupal 6. We're running a fair bit of custom code, so please let me know if you find anything broken or if any of your favorite features are missing. And yes, this upgrade is the first step toward getting regular posts on the website again.

Highlighting Interesting Mailing List Discussions

Jeremy — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 22:00:09 +0000

New functionality has been enabled that allows logged-in users to highlight interesting mailing list discussions. This new feature has been provided out of necessity, as I'm finding myself with insufficient time of late for keeping up with the many mailing lists I track to post articles on KernelTrap. My goal is to inspire you to participate more in the process, occasionally clicking the new up-arrow on mailing list messages that you find interesting and worthy of attention. In the upcoming weeks, improved interfaces will be provided for navigating other people's votes, and for filtering on only the mailing lists you're interested in. Future KernelTrap stories and quotes will be selected from those that are highlighted by this voting process.

Mail Archive Advanced Search Features

We've added new features to our mail archive search engine. Our new features allow you to search for messages from specific names and with specific words in the subject. You can also limit your search to specific specific years and/or months and/or days. Finally, we cleaned up a handful of bugs in our advanced search interface that were resulting in faulty results.

Searching the Mail Archives

Jeremy — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 13:06:23 +0000

We have added full-text search functionality to our mailing list archives. A simple search block shows up along side each mail archive posting allowing you to search all mailing lists, or just the list that you're currently viewing. An advanced search page helps you craft more complex queries and to search multiple mailing lists at a time.

Searching is extremely fast thanks to the Sphinx search engine. Currently our search index is only updated once ever day, but we will soon improve it to update more frequently. Check the advanced search page to see as new features are enabled.

Kernel Trap Job Board Widget

There is a new job board widget on Kernel Trap. But no one seems to be using it. I wonder why? Your feedback about the job board widget would be most appreciated. Do you like the jobs? Have you considered posting your resume? What has kept you from posting your resume? Have you considered posting some jobs there? Why not? What do you think of the widget?

Scaling Problems

The past few days have been a little rough. To begin, all KernelTrap configuration files were moved into a configuration management system, but in doing so many of the configuration files inadvertently got modified. These issues were fixed as they were noticed.
