OmegaT User Support has been hosted on Yahoo! Groups since March 2004.
Yahoo! has announced that it will severely downgrade its service starting October 28, 2019.
These tools were created in anticipation that Yahoo! will eventually completely discontinue their Groups service.
This repository is mostly a Makefile
implementing tools for archiving a Yahoo! Groups group. From the repository

First you probably want to run make dump to dump all messages from your group
in JSON format.
Then, if you want to e.g. import your group into GNU
Mailman you probably want to convert the archive to MBOX
format with make mbox-clean.
To generate archive HTML with GNU Mailman, run make mailman-archive.
To deploy the archive to a remote server via rsync, run make deploy.
