Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Mailing list Guidelines
Hi, Another guidelines page here: http://www.plug.org.in/mailing-list And (supposed to be) the master of them all is here: http://www.gweep.ca/~edmonds/usenet/ml-etiquette.html I am afraid that these are from the FOSS world and with FOSS context. Take it or leave it. -Sudhanwa ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~! web: www.sudhanwa.com blog: www.sudhanwa.in Twitter: sudhanwa Check on FB, Linkedin for more. ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Mailing list Guidelines
hi, I think it is broad enough in its current form to serve as a begining. Let's share it here and request comments from the list and other administrators before finalising?

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Mailing list Guidelines
I think Srikanth's list is quite an acceptable list of guidelines. A list exists for the purpose of discussion. Theoretically every Wikipedian subscribed to this list can respond to every thread and start a thread of their own everyday. Should this happen, our discussions would rise in magnitude astronomically I think. For those who feel "that the list is becoming pointless due to the volume of mails and quality of threads", the option remains to voluntarily unsubscribe. Alternatively, please start an interesting and pointful thread of your own. But then I will be the lodestone to decide whether it is indeed qualititatively Any topic relevant to the broad Wikimedian community not having a list of its own can be discussed. In addition, announcements, requests to participate in polls, or issues on other lists may also be featured. What is NOT acceptable are completely offtopic issues such as those outlined in Srikath's guidelines.

Those guidelines for IRC aren't really as enforceable, it is usually the ops who decide on case-by-case basis. We have to conform to certain guidelines because of Freenode as well, the service provider, mailing lists don't have that. The guidelines are usually for list moderators. While I won't suggest a heavy handed approach to this, certain guidelines were formed years ago for lists, like a monthly soft-limit of 30 posts by a single person. They really weren't enforced. I'm all for controlling the traffic on this list Srikanth, but this is not an easy thing to do with just drafting guidelines.

hi, Do any other Wikipedia lists have such guidelines which we can 'get inspired' by?

[Wikimediaindia-l] Mailing list Guidelines
Hi all, Off late the traffic to India list has gone up much more than what it was before (already a highly active list!). During the last couple of months, we moderators have got requests from members that the list is becoming pointless due to the volume of mails and quality of threads. I propose, together we all write down some list guidelines and follow them to make the list more productive. New members will be sent this guideline when they join the list. Please feel free to help out by making the list guidelines[1] (Which is a very rough draft now) [1] http://wiki.wikimedia.in/MailingList_Guidelines -- Regards Srikanth.L ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
