Hey CouchDB folks. We have recently seen cases such as this one of Diana Ying, with people trying to unsubscribe but having no idea how. I think it's time to put a little effort to solve it.
The problem is that it might use a mailing system that handles unsubscribing through special email addresses. For this example, the `user` mailing list can have an user unsubscribed by receiving a message at `user-unsubscribe` email address, which sends a confirmation link that, if clicked, completes the unsubscribing process. Although it might be a known process for old school developers/community members, it might look confusing and/or complex to others, so we must simplify it. My suggestion is to add a short note as footer to every message sent by that mailing software. Something like *"You are receiving this email because (...). To unsubscribe, send an email to **[email protected] <[email protected]>** and the system will sent you a confirmation link. Click on it and you'll be unsubscribed."*, or something like that. We could even develop an HTML unsubscription form to have people following the more common flow of clicking on a unsubscribe button/link and complete the process through a web page. Does it make sense for you? Any thoughts? *QQ: which software does the CouchDB team use to host the mailing list?* -- Joel Wallis Jucá joelwallis.com
