A bash script from Tomasz Chmielewski <mangoo@wpkg.org>.

If you ever wondered how to generate a sitemap file for Mailman (the GNU
Mailing List Manager), to be submitted i.e. to Google, here is how.

All you have to do is replace a few variables, and submit the sitemap to
your favourite search engine.  Consider using the new in 2.1.16 -p or
--public-archive option to Mailman's bin/list_lists to generate the list of
lists to process.  I.e.,

LISTS=`/path/to/mailman/bin/list_lists -p -b`

It is based on a real website running Mailman: http://lists.wpkg.org

With sitemap code, it takes around 5 seconds to generate a sitemap consisting
of 10000 articles.

Run it once a day via cron.
