As part of the preparation work I'm trying to do for the pending
migration of the OOo website, I've taken a look at the Documentation
Project mailing lists... and there are a lot of them. A significant
number are dead mailing lists with no activity in a very long time. I
propose that we delete these unused mailing lists.
Comments?
Details of each ML on the Doc Project:
--------------------------------------
d...@documentation
- active list, in daily use
- used for most if not all Doc Project related discussions
- Owner: ccornell
- PROPOSAL: Leave as is
c...@documentation
- semi-active *unmoderated* list
- records CVS commits to the Doc project webpages
- some months are 50% or more spam
- Owner: ccornell
- PROPOSAL: Leave as is
annou...@documentation
- a *dead* mailing list
- only 3 messages since November 2004
- Owner: Scott Carr
- PROPOSAL: DELETE this mailing list
iss...@documentation
- active list
- records Issuezilla bug changes for Doc Project
- unmoderated list, has some spam in archives
- the prefix [documentation-issues] is longer than the 20 char
maximum, so changes to this mailing list are not allowed until the list
is assigned a new prefix
- Owner: Scott Carr
- PROPOSAL: Correct the prefix - change to [doc-issues], and reassign
owner to ccornell. Only problem I can see is that people may have
filters set up on [documentation-issues] and their filters will stop
working after the prefix change.
