Hi Chris, Is there any documentation on how to use eucalyptus.2 and MailChimp? I was already looking into it and trying to figure out how to interconnect everything when I discovered the mailing djangoapps and references to mailchimp. And then I discovered this mailing list thread.
We are already using bulk email for our courses, but we definitely need an "email-everyone" solution for a newsletter like the one edX sends every week. If there is already a working solution, why reinvent the wheel? :) So, once again, is there any documentation on how to use eucalyptus.2 and MailChimp? Environment variables to setup, anything I could look at. Thanks in advance.
