I've looked over the suggestions for software to manage our lists, but what's out there either doesn't do what I want or doesn't have documentation that explains things clearly. I've outlined how I envision our multiple email list management program working and posted the overview at
<http://lemlists.com/lists/> Other goals for the program: 1. Crystal clear documentation that non-techs and newbies can understand. 2. Ability to configure virtually everything via a browser instead of having to make any changes to scripts. I don't know or really care what language the various modules and functions are written in. I've suggested PHP because it looks like a good choice, but if something would work better in Perl or another language, that's great. Issues of program language should be transparent to the end user anyways, so some hybrid Frankencode monster won't matter to them. I do envision heavy use of MySQL for handling databases and server access for storing the body of list messages, which should also keep the MySQL databases from becoming overly huge. I'm leaning toward a name like Simple List Manager or Easy List Manager for this project, since simplicity and ease of use are key goals. All the power will be under the hood. Please look over the list and let me know what you think about the goals and the feasibility of pulling this off.
