Hello All, I am looking to add a feature to mailman and would appreciate some advice on how and where to get started. I run a MM server where users can subscribe to up to 8 different lists, and this number will grow. It would be nice for them not to have to deal with that many subs. I see discussion of a centralized user database, which is great. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that is an MM3 feature, and MM3 is a ways off?
As an alternate, I was considering something like this: - when the user authenticates to his options page, there is a section there listing all possible mailing lists, and showing to which ones the user is currently subscribed. - user can simply check off the ones he wants and hit submit, and he will be subscribed / unsubscribed to the appropriate lists. - the button for List my Other Subscriptions is starting down this path. The differences would be: - list unsubscribed as well as subscribed lists - allow sub/unsub via this page - eventually, I could see adding a "group" field to the mailing lists so that the user would see only those lists in the current group. If I attempt this, is the project interested? If so, which branch? Is only MM3 being developed right now? I assume the centralized user database would obsolete what I'm proposing here. If this is a sane thing to try, any technical / implementation tips welcome.
