The avalon project would like its mailing lists moved in accordance with the general naming scheme followed at apache. IE we would like all mailing lists renamed from
avalon-*@jakarta.apache.org
to
*@avalon.apache.org
so
[EMAIL PROTECTED] --> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] --> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] --> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] --> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
IIUC it is possible to simply move over the lists along with all current subscribers and asf-hosted archives. This is desirable.
I believe it is also possible to automatically send notifications to people that send messages to the old lists, directing them to the new one. This is desirable, too.
Finally, could you please coordinate with the apcvs peeps (which just /might/ be yourselves ;) so that avalon-related cvs messages are sent to the new address?
Note: I'm volunteering to document the process followed here so if there's any suggestions in that respect...
thanks in advance,

PS: mailing list subscribers, please note and accept there may be some quirks and/or degradation of service as this move is carried out.

Brian (of infrastructure genius fame) has already said this is quite possible, and some people have requested it. It also Simply Makes Sense(tm) and Keeps Things Consistent(sm) with other apache projects.
this entails
- reconfiguration of qmail 'n stuff by the apmail team
- updates to eyebrowse to archive the new stuff by the apmail team
- contacting the gmane people to get things changed on their end
- contacting the mail-archive.com people to get things changed on their end
- contacting the marc.theaimsgroup.com people to get things changed on their end
- updating references to avalon-dev
- updating the mailing list information (avalon.apache.org/mail.html, jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html), and doing a
r/avalon-([a-z]+)@jakarta\.apache\.org/$1@avalon\.apache\.org/i
on all our sourcefiles to update all references
- updating your addressbook :D
additionally: - update gump to send messages to the new location - update cvs to send messages to the new location
(please add anything I missed! :D)
---
I volunteer to do the documentation updates and get things worked out with apmail people, and also to document the rout taken for a "best practices" document to benefit other new top-level projects.
