First of all, thank you @hrenfroe for keeping this fork alive. With the closure of yahoo-groups, this repository has been incredibly valuable, and all thanks to people like you who updated it and kept it working.

However, since the main branch seems a bit dead, and there are many many stale forks, would it be better for visibility to make a new repository (acknowledging the original creator)?

Also, @rmcardle fork seems to be active and have some original work, while also merging all of your recent commits. So it might be a good idea to merge both, to have a single, easily reachable and working repository?

Thanks again for all the work!

The folks at archiveteam.org have focused their effort on yahoo-group-archiver. That script supports files, photos, databases, links, calendar, and polls in addition to messages and doesn't require Mongo, Selenium, Chrome, or a GUI.

I appreciate all the effort that went into yahoo-groups-backup but I think effort would be better spent on yahoo-group-archiver. Once yahoo-group-archiver is stable, perhaps porting the static HTML feature from yahoo-groups-backup would be a good idea.

Thanks. I will try that too and see how it goes. It looks like a nice project, although as you said the static website would be nice to port.

@rmcardle Can you point me to where the discussions are for yahoo-group-archiver? I agree that we should join forces where possible, and I'd like to see what they are currently working on.
