OK--I think I've found the time to build this and contribute it to the cause!
Just want to make sure that none already exists... Has anyone built such a beast? Are there *any* other known implementations to use as references besides OldStyleMemberships.py? I'm also wondering about dynamic groups... (and think that I should be able to implement this using some combination of the "virtual" list and the "extended" list.) In the system that I'll be integrating this there are several types of entities, and a dynamic number of instances of each. I'd like to be able to have each instance of each entity have it's own (probably virtual) mailing list. The first idea is to create one concrete mailman list (with settings/templates/etc.) for each type, and have each instance automagically exist with distinct membership (as pulled from the SQL DB). As a more concrete example, I might want to set up a "class" mailing list and a "project" mailing list, but I really want it to appear that there are many mailing lists all of the form "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", etc. (The plus'es are a straw-man, it could be deliniated some other way--the key is that I want them each to have a distinct email address so that people can respond to the group if desired--if this were announce-only I could simply use the virtual list and .inject() method.) Any suggestions as to how to go about this? I'm guessing I'll make an SQL DB framework that is only mostly concrete. Each list would need an extend.py that informs that framework about the schema through which to find various pieces of information in the DB. Any suggestions as to how that schema should be specified? This brings up something about which I'm not so clear--can different lists use different MemberAdaptors? Can I have a single mailman instance running some lists with OldStyle and other lists using my new fangled system? -Dale _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman-21/listinfo/mailman-developers
