== 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 the administrative contact:
# The name you want for your mailing list, with alternative names if the first one is taken
# 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)
# The name/email of the list admin, and of at least one other moderator (minimum one admin and one moderator)
# 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!

== Notes ==
=== Adding a new a mailing list ===
* Create the list:
== Upgrade notes ==
sudo newlist --urlhost=lists.sugarlabs.org --emailhost=lists.sugarlabs.org LISTNAME
* Send additional instructions to list administrator
I created the new list LISTNAME@lists.sugarlabs.org.
You are the list admin, and should have received a welcome message
with your admin password. You can share this role with others, if
you wish, or nominate one or more moderators.
Feel free to make any configuration changes you need. In particular,
you may want to add a meaningful summary and description of what this
list is about. Please, notify systems@ if you change security or privacy
related settings.
=== Change virtual host of a list ===
withlist -l -r fix_url bolivia -u lists2.ole.org
=== Change a parameter on all lists ===
echo "nondigestable = True" >bar
for l in `list_lists -b`; do config_list -i bar -v $l ; done
rm bar
=== Disabling digests for all users ===
Create a nodigests.py with this content:
from Mailman import mm_cfg
def nodigests(m):
for addr in m.getMembers():
if m.getMemberOption(addr, mm_cfg.Digests) == True:
print "turning off digests for " + addr
m.setMemberOption(addr, mm_cfg.Digests, 0)
m.Save()
m.Unlock()
Then, execute:
withlist -l -r nodigests -a
=== Migrating lists from one host to another ===
