== Requesting a new mailing list ==
   −
== Change virtual host of a 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.
   −
bin/withlist -l -r fix_url bolivia -u lists2.ole.org
+
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

=== Adding a new a mailing list ===
 +
 
 +
* Create the list:
 +
 
 +
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
 +
 
 +
