[Bug 865421] [NEW] Need list download function inverse to mass subscription
Public bug reported: The forge site Berlios announced its impending death recently, requiring me to move the GPSD project elsewhere. The most difficult part of the job was extracting the Mailman state of my lists. At forge sites, usually only the web interface is available, so the export script is not a useful answer. Scraping the lists of names from the web display was painful. Please add to the admin screen of a list a button to download the list state as a file. It should be in the same format accepted for upload. For bonus points, enhance the format so per-user options are preserved. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/865421 Title: Need list download function inverse to mass subscription To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/865421/+subscriptions
Have you seen the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/aYA9>? That FAQ mentions the email 'who' command which can be used to obtain the names and addresses of members in a format suitable for mass subscribe. It also mentions the script at <http://www.msapiro.net /mailman-subscribers.py> which already exists to do the screen scraping and which can retrieve most of the user options (everything in the admin Membership List page except language). ** Changed in: mailman Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/865421 Title: Need list download function inverse to mass subscription To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/865421/+subscriptions
