Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mark A. Mandel (mamandel) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: option index for lists Initial Comment: An option index, implemented within Mailman, for each and every list. (The wording is due to Brad Knowles; my thanks to him. I wrote to [email protected] as below, and he suggested I enter this RFE.) (My post:) I've noticed that a fair number of the questions and answers on this list follow the pattern Q: How do I do X? A: Look in .... Q: Aha! Thanks, I didn't know it was there. And as an owner of a number of lists, though not a sysadmin, I've fairly often had the experience of "Now, where the heck was that feature the last time I used it? ... Not there... it's not there either... OK, let's go through the option pages one by one. ... ... ... Oh, THERE you are, you little devil!" One way to solve this problem would be an index. Another would be a wiki. (Brad Knowles replied:) That's a good idea -- An option index, implemented within Mailman, for each and every list. We do have the Mailman FAQ Wizard (see <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py>), which works much like many wikis, but that is obviously not enough. Nor is the other online documentation linked under <http://www.list.org/docs.html>. Sigh.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1285097&group_id=103 _______________________________________________ Mailman-coders mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-coders
