a per-month "downloadable version" like Mailman offers: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/

as well as just a download everything option as well.

@amyxzhang great meeting you at LibrePlanet and chatting about this! Is a good starting point for fixing this issue to look at one of the templates under browser/templates/murmur? I'm very interested in what I would call "data liberation" (but I'm not sure if I'll have the time to implement a fix for this issue).

I'm not sure if you're familiar with the Google Data Liberation Front ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Data_Liberation_Front ) but the idea of data liberation is that users should not feel locked in to any particular service.

Users should continue using Murmur at https://murmur.csail.mit.edu (or any other installation of Murmur) because they love it but feel free to leave with their data at any time.

Hi @pdurbin! Thanks so much for reaching out and likewise, it was great meeting you!

Are you familiar with Django? The template for an individual mailing list's info page is here: https://github.com/haystack/murmur/blob/master/browser/templates/murmur/group_page.html

@amyxzhang I've hacked on Django apps a little bit. Over at https://github.com/good-labs/good-labs.github.io/issues/2#issuecomment-488132952 I suggested that a new project use Murmur but I'm slightly concerned about the ability to get our data (mailing list posts) out of the main Murmur installation if we ever need to. There's only one post so far so it's not a huge concern yet!

Step one for me working on this issue is setting up a dev environment, of course. I just opened #258 because it's not clear to me if Murmur runs on Python 3 or not.
