Nice work Sam ;) May I suggest adding some fields to ease data entry even more:
1- A checkbox indicating whether or not the mailing list is for an incubator project or not 2- Another list of checkboxes which are enabled only when the incubator checkbox is enabled: 2.1- Dvelopment 2.2- Commits 2.3- Private 2.4- Users(*) For the first three ones they can be checked by default as they are required by all Incubator projects, the last one for users can be checked sometimes when a new podling is in need for a users list This will ease data entry a lot for new podlings instead of making a new request for each mailing list a mentor can just in one request send all data required by the tool On Sun, May 27, 2012 at 1:41 PM, Daniel Shahaf <d...@daniel.shahaf.name>wrote: > Daniel Shahaf wrote on Sun, May 27, 2012 at 14:12:54 +0300: > > Nick Kew wrote on Sat, May 26, 2012 at 07:39:48 +0100: > > > > > > On 26 May 2012, at 03:54, Sam Ruby wrote: > > > > > > > https://whimsy.apache.org/infra/mlreq > > > > > > > > Nothing fancy: simple data gathering.
