− | == Recipes == | + | == Requesting a new mailing list == |
| + | |
| + | The best way to start a new mailing list is to begin a discussion on a related list that already exists, |
| + | and once the discussion becomes active, to ask for a separate list for that topic or that sort of traffic. |
| + | |
| + | When you have a critical mass of people regularly talking about the same topic, request a mailing list by |
| + | emailing the following information to sysadmin at laptop dot org: |
| + | |
| + | 1. The name you want for your mailing list, with alternative names if the first one is taken |
| + | 2. A description of the list, its purpose, and why it's needed (being able to say "we've been talking on this other list for a while, and the discussion has grown too big - see these archive links" is helpful) |
| + | 3. The name/email of the list admin, and of at least one other moderator (minimum one admin and one moderator) |
| + | 4. At least 10 names/emails of people who want to be the initial subscribers |
| + | |
| + | It may take up to 48h to hear a response back, so please be patient! |
