Removing liftweb from Scala@Nabble

[L Jantzen]

Hi,

This may be controversial, but anyways, here goes.  

I'm not a Liftweb user, and I don't plan to become one soon.  So seeing all the liftweb posts in the scala mailing lists on Nabble (http://www.nabble.com/Scala-Programming-Language-f20934.html) is giving me no particular value in addition to the noise.

Could the powers that be please remove liftweb from the Scala Programming Language section on Nabble?  It already has a home in the Software/Web Development Framework section (http://www.nabble.com/Web-Development-Framework-f16257.html)  

TIA,

:-lj

I added Lift to the Scala area of Nabble based on a request that people see not only Scala but practical applications of Scala and to demonstrate the unity of the Scala and Lift communities.  This is exactly the same as Rails which is a child of Ruby and Web Frameworks.

I also suspect that the lift group is being far more easily found than general scala mailing lists, as the presence on Google gives it higher visibility...

There definitely seem to be a lot more postings to the lift group, even on general topics such as eclipse plugin setup

Which is a perfectly valid reason. But at the moment the liftweb messages are totally drowning the rest of the traffic. And that I find less than useful.

Silly question I'm sure, but why do you read the lists via Nabble
rather than using gmail and a few filters to keep the messages out of
your inbox?

Cheers,

Reading lists like this via RSS is considerably less work than doing so via e-mail.   I also would agree that lift traffic is now great enough and intrusive enough that it deserves to be moved to it's own list.

I created a small greasemonkey script that filters out the liftweb posts.  It solved my needs.  

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Nabble NoLift
// @namespace      http://www.jantzen.no
// @include        http://www.nabble.com/Scala-Programming-Language-f*.html
// ==/UserScript==

var tbl = document.getElementsByClassName("list-table").item(0);
var tds = tbl.getElementsByTagName("td");
var trs = new Array();
var numTrs = 0;
var tableSection = tbl.childNodes.item(1)

for (var i=0; i<tds.length;i++) { var td = tds.item(i); if (td.textContent.indexOf('liftweb') != -1) trs[numTrs++] = td.parentNode; }
for (var i=0; i<trs.length;i++) { var tr = trs[i]; tableSection.removeChild(tr) }
