I haven't watched this entire thread, but I hope someone is considering setting appropriate defaults for at least two mailing list types such as:
read-only (news) read-post (moderated or not)
Not in that terminology, no. What do you hope to type, and what effect do you want it to have?
We had a little discussion last year about list styles. See this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/msg13369.html
I think this GSoC project might be the place to at least start with the option of choosing a list "style" such as a defined "read-only" mailing list.
Using the latest cli commands as shown in Rajeev's /src/mailmanclient/cli/docs/using.txt would be for the "default" list style:
test_one = example.create_list('test-one')
Then, for other styles, we could use something like (pardon my pseudo code):
test_one = example.create_list('test-one', style='read-only')
Looking briefly at the cli code I see nothing about the list attributes Barry mentioned in last year's thread referenced above, so I'm not sure how this would all fit together, but I think it needs to be considered.
I hope this makes some sense from a very interested user.
Best regards,
