Process for getting a new mailing list created is here: http://www.apache.org/dev/committers.html#new-mailing-list Probably makes sense to start with the largest NL communities first?
I had a look at this and at the mentioned EZMLM "Moderator's and Administrator's Manual" to have an idea, and it seems that the moderator role and its processes are quite different from what we are used to at openoffice.org.
While I do have a general understanding now, I still miss some information on how the lists are actually configured at Apache:
- Must all moderation happen by e-mail through the -accept address and similar? Isn't a web interface available?
- The distinction between a "Moderator" and an "Administrator" is new to me, and I realized that at it.openoffice.org I act much more as an Administrator than a Moderator. My most frequent task is a user asking me to change his e-mail address, which I have to do in two steps (automatically subscribe the new address, then remove the old one; he could do it himself of course, but often he experienced difficulties while trying). Can this be done on the Apache lists too?
- Can a lists be set up so that it automatically rejects posts from non-members, sending a (possibly configurable) standard reply?
- Can subject tags and e-mail footers be customized? Thanks, Andrea.
