Aurélien, thanks a lot. Waiting to see the UI change. It's several years now, that I wait for YYYY<separator>MM for mailman archives. I think many people will benefit from having it. Thanks a lot for all the work with programming the software! Tobias -- Tobias Conradi Rheinsberger Str. 18 10115 Berlin Germany http://tobiasconradi.com

mailman.client and UUIDs for user.user_id
by Aurelien Bompard 27 Oct '14

27 Oct '14

Hey folks, Mailman stores user_ids as UUIDs in the database, and they are converted on the fly to integers by the REST API. However, the mailmanclient library do not convert them back to UUID. Do you think this is something that it should do, or should I handle this conversion in my own code? FYI, I'm attaching a very simple patch which does this conversion in mailmanclient (4 lines changed). Aurélien

Hey Tobias, Sorry for not replying to your email but I did read it. having a two digit month in the URL would bring it closer to the ISO 8601 > format. > Using leading zeros in URLs is something I had already noticed and wanted to do, but I guess I never wrote it down when I thought about it and thus, forgot it ;-) FYI it's already possible to use leading zeros in the URLs, they are just not generated that way by the UI. I'll make sure I write it down this time, thanks for your email. Aurélien

Hyperkitty - archive URLs - month with leading zero
by Tobias Conradi 10 Oct '14

The demo server shows https://lists.stg.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/announce@lists.fedoraproj… The "8" seems to represent a month, but having a two digit month in the URL would bring it closer to the ISO 8601 format. Two digit month can be seen in various places: https://fedorahosted.org/hyperkitty/ shows URLs for blogs: http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2010/03/16/a-rich-web-interface-for-mailing-lists/ http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2012/02/29/7750-pixels-of-mailing-list-thread/ http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2012/03/13/mailman-brainstorm/ http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2012/03/14/mailman-brainstorm-2/ Same style is used by some blog hosting services, e.g. google for - wordpress.com 2014/01/01 - blogspot.com 2014/01 Some newspaper store it that way, google for - nytimes.com 2014/01/01 - washingtonpost.com 2014/01/01 -- Tobias Conradi Rheinsberger Str. 18 10115 Berlin Germany http://tobiasconradi.com

Unofficial git mirror of GNU Mailman 3
by Abhilash Raj 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hi all, We have setup a unofficial git mirror[1] for GNU Mailman 3 on gitorious.org. I have added mailman-core and will shortly add postorius and mailman.client too. The mirrors would be updated daily from the official launchpad branch. This mirror is just for people who want to work personally on git, the work flow for contributing would remain same (atleast for now ) i.e. via pull request through launchpad. No pull requests would be accepted on gitorious. [1]: https://gitorious.org/mailman/mailman thanks, Abhilash Raj

Changes coming to the GNU Mailman wiki
by Barry Warsaw 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hi folks. I'm happy to announce some changes to the GNU Mailman infrastructure that has been a long time coming. For many years, our wiki hosted at wiki.list.org has been running on a donated instance of Atlassian Confluence. We are extremely grateful to both Atlassian and the hosting provider Contegix for their support over the years. However, Confluence is not free software and because Mailman is a GNU project, it is incumbent on the project to utilize free software throughout our infrastructure. Thus I am here to announce the imminent switch of our wiki to a new Moin server. Huge, huge thanks go to Paul Boddie for the incredible amount of work he's put into the conversion process. Paul has been able to import most if not all of the content, along with most of the account names, into the new wiki. Because of the difference in organizing principles between Confluence and Moin, some post conversion gardening will be needed, and eventually we'd like to improve the style, but the conversion has really been done masterfully. Of course, passwords have not been imported into the new wiki, so if you were an approved author of the old wiki, you'll need to do a password reset to gain control of your new wiki account. However, the group permissions have been imported, so if you were able to edit the old wiki, you should be able to edit the new wiki. As always, contact mailman-cabal(a)python.org if you need assistance. We're doing the last few fiddly bits of the conversion, so you may see some down time while things fall into place. We still need to set up the SSL certificates and twiddle the DNS, so please be aware of this. I'll make another announcement when everything should be settled. In the meantime, I've disabled write permissions to the Confluence wiki. Huge thanks also go out to the Python Software Foundation and the PSF infrastructure team for donating the resources that the new wiki is running on. Thanks too to the other Mailpersons who have helped review the moin conversion process. Cheers, -Barry
