The big problem is that as Simon points out we no longer have a truly
centralized database.  Each component now keeps user information
related to itself, but it's not communicated across the components
very well.  ISTM the core exports pretty good information, but it has
no ability to grant privileges in the other components.  The other
components are in a "pull" relationship with core, so core isn't
really able to get information from them.  We need to think about
providing better communication among the components.

I wonder if we might not have been better off using an object-oriented
database like MongoDB for the core.  That would allow adding
components from external sources as the external sources require.

One of the things I think we need is better holistic documentation which
describes how to use the integrated system, from a user's and list owners'
perspective.  I feel like the core is fairly well documented (it could always
be better of course), but since most users don't really interact with the
system at that level, it's more geared toward developers.

We'd certainly welcome contributions here.

Cheers,

[Mailman-Developers] [Mailman 3] Granting Postorius web access to Mailman users?

[Simon Fromme]

Hello everybody,

the company I am working for is currently evaluating whether or not to 
upgrade to mailman 3.0 from mailman 2.X. So far I am very impressed by 
the improved functionality and the good looking webinterface(s) and I am 
thankful for the good work.


However, I am having some trouble understanding the procedure of 
granting users access to the Postorius webinterface. I created a bunch 
of Mailman users using the REST-interface (apparently inserted in table 
'user' in var/data/mailman.db) which however are not automatically given 
access to the Postorius web interface, apparently only granted to users 
in the 'auth_user' table in var/mailman-web/mailman-web.sqlite. So my 
questions are:


   1. What is the procedure of granting Postorius web access to Mailman
   users?
   2. Is there a timeframe in which a good Mailman 3 documentation can
   be expected? I find it quite hard to solve problems myself given the
   small amount of informationon the web right now.

Thanks a lot!
Simon Fromme
