Summary: mobile-l feedback system issues
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Mailing lists
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Currently users of the mobile site are invited to leave feedback by email. Said
feedback is directed to mobile-l. There are two big problems with this.
First, it can be subscribed to by anyone; a malicious user can subscribe to the
list and receive a steady stream of active email addresses the owners of whom
are, I think it is reasonable to assume, not aware that they are exposing their
address in this way when submitting feedback.
Second, the mobile-l list advertises itself as a place for discussion of the
mobile site. Any such discussion would be swamped by the flood of feedback
messages, which is probably why I haven't seen any. Changing the description to
make it clear that it's not so much a mailing list as a receptacle for feedback
forms would be a start, but that still leaves us without a list for discussion
of the mobile site, so if such a thing is desired, it would have to be put
elsewhere.
BTW a lot of the feedback messages seem to be blank, something that should be
looked into?
