Announce-only lists are common even in the FLOSS world, where I think people are more clueful about mailing lists in general. Certainly Mailman has a history of catering to FLOSS project needs, but I think it is worthwhile to explore the use cases for announce lists, and try to understand how to make their lives easier. I'm all for doing whatever we can to help smaller community organizations get a better tool. With Mailman 3 we'll be able to implement list styles much more easily, not just in the way lists are configured, but throughout the stack, including the pipeline handlers and the posting rules. I think the right way to do this is to have a few canned styles that you can use easily to enable things like 1-click unsubscribes. I generally don't like 1-click unsubs but I recognize that this is an important use case in the real world, and it's probably better to have the risk of people getting unsub'd against their will than to have the entire site get blacklisted from AOL because of a cluser. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkfPKeUACgkQ2YZpQepbvXE7JgCdGfnHVtwiifsBiE3kXsG9W4O9 I70An2MhQ5kGLpfsGtys8VVM16n6uuMs =1rCs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
