I think you'd have to change this in a backward compatible way. A counter proposal would be to add name:domain (simply change the '@' to a ':') so it doesn't look like an email address. Continue to support the original argument syntax for backward compatibility, but change the documentation to favor the name:domain syntax.
I was thinking of doing the same thing but with a space instead of a :. I can't think of any reason not to keep the backwards compatibility as long as we don't leave the confusing stuff in the documentation.
Wouldn't it be better to introduce '--urlhost=' option and keep '@' for backward compatibility?
$ bin/newlist --urlhost=www.dom.ain listname or $ bin/newlist [EMAIL PROTECTED]
No, because there are many types of URL (including mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] email address specifications), so URL is not specific enough. Better would be --webhost
If I didn't feel guilty using my laptop while proctoring my students' exam, I'd write the patch tomorrow while I'm stuck sitting in a quiet room. I might do it later in the evening, though, if no one else gets to it first.
We need no hurry for release of 2.1.6 is not yet scheduled. ;-)
