If I archive the cocoapro list with the other two lists, its messages will
be considered the same as cocoadev or macosxdev messages. It means that when
they will be indexed, they won't come out first. Except if I set a meta tag
that says these messages have a better score factor than the others.
But IMO, they should be considered the same as the others because they have
the same topic. Don't you think ?
There is another solution, which I will use to archive java-dev,
projectbuilder users and gnustep: to put these lists into specific areas.
Users will be able to search in the area they choose and won't get results
from the other areas. So javadev results won't mix up with projectbuilder
results for example.
So, should I make a special area for cocoapro itself or mix it with cocoadev
and macosxdev ?

I am not surprised, you are one of the top contributor to these lists, if
you make a search in cocoa.mamasam.com, you would surely find a lot of
replies come from you. ;-)
