+1 This is an instance of an acceptable confirmation box, because for those people for whom mailing list creation is rare, they will not habituate to just clicking "yes, I really mean it"; and for those for whom it is common, they will already understand about putting Ubuntu lists at Ubuntu.com. > - Adding the Ubuntu notice to the team page just above the "Create a > mailing list" link. Not sure we should put the notice where users will see it even *before* they ever ask to create a mailing list. Let's only show the notice if the user clicks to indicate that they want to create a mailing list -- that's the only audience that needs to see it. > - Have a create mailing list form that has mostly what's on the > configure mailing list page, except that it also has the Ubuntu > notice. > > I don't think b) is necessary -- our implementation of c) will give us > data to determine if it is. Agreed. For those who don't still have all of this thread: (a) is put a notice reminding people to use ubuntu.com for Ubuntu lists (b) is auto-detect lists with "ubuntu" in the name and warn (c) is do post-facto review. Jonathan is saying just do (a) and (c), and only implement (b) if we determine we need it after some experience with (c).
