Middleware-Enabled Mailing List Working Group (MACE-MLIST): http://middleware.internet2.edu/mlist/
--<cut>-- Charter The I2 MACE-MLIST working group intends to address the following sets of issues: - The WG will research the issues surrounding middleware-enablement of mailing list services. Where possible, the WG will document how to perform this integration and provide forums where people can learn and help each other in addressing these integration issues within campus contexts. Where appropriate, the WG will collaborate with open source communities to consider needed modifications or other techniques for achieving better integration with the enterprise/federation. - The WG will consider and implement a survey of current university mailing list users to identify favorite features, needed improvements, and notable warts. We will map existing mailing list capabilities to a matrix of available functionality. - The WG will include persons who are actively working on integration with the enterprise/federation using non-proprietary technology; experiences will be shared regarding application designs best supporting infrastructure. Working group members will test-drive pilot/prototype solutions. Outcomes / Deliverables 1. Survey results, identifying best features, absent features, and desired improvements from users of mailing list software, along with a mapping of this feature set to existing mailing list software. 2. A simple model of mailing list management software operations, with middleware enablement points identified. 3. At least one open-source list software prototype (Sympa is a likely candidate) using federated authN/Z. 4. Documentation describing methods for modifying open source list software for use in federated environments. --<cut>-- -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
